refactor(core): unify cache config parameters (#1346)

Simplified `processCacheConfig` function signature from 3 to 2 parameters.
Unified `fallbackId` and `cacheId` into single `cacheId` parameter.

BREAKING CHANGE: processCacheConfig signature changed

Changed from:
  processCacheConfig(cache, fallbackId, cacheId?)
To:
  processCacheConfig(cache, cacheId)

The cacheId parameter now serves dual purpose:
1. Fallback ID when cache is true or cache object lacks ID
2. Legacy cacheId when cache is undefined (requires MIDSCENE_CACHE env)

Updated call sites:
- packages/core/src/agent/agent.ts
- packages/web-integration/src/playwright/ai-fixture.ts
- packages/cli/src/create-yaml-player.ts (4 locations)

Added comprehensive test coverage for legacy compatibility mode:
- process-cache-config.test.ts: 18 tests passing
- create-yaml-player.test.ts: 13 tests passing (6 new)
- playwright-ai-fixture-cache.test.ts: 8 tests passing (3 new)

Benefits:
- Simpler API with fewer parameters
- Unified semantics for new and legacy use cases
- Full backward compatibility maintained
- Better test coverage
