Investigating the bottleneck in `compile_and_load()` about nearcore HOT 3 OPEN

Current summary:

• Based on this, we now believe that borsh deserialization is quite expensive and Simonas is going to work on swapping it out for rkyv.
• Alex is going to work on PRs to improve the caching of compiled artifacts in rocksdb
• We need to come up with ideas on how to reduce the function call base costs immediately. We will continue iterating on this.

Action items from the meeting:

• @Simonas (nagisa / ie0aua46): reintroduce the in memory cache. i.e. finish #10787.
• @Andrei Kashin (akashin): to work on adding support for compute costs for Actions #8806
• Reduce function call base cost compute cost to 700GGas
• Increase the contract loading per byte cost compute cost to 52MGas

Summary of the meeting:

@nagisa: continue working on #10787
@Ekleog-NEAR: work on #10801
@akashin: It seems like #8806 in general is going to be too complex a implementation to land. So we are now considering reducing gas costs directly. Hence, he will investigate the impact of reducing the gas costs and prototyping introducing compute costs just for function calls.
