Cold start incremental: Cache results of --incremental builds to file system to re-use on subsequent builds

First suggested (to me) here #108 (comment)

This is the final boss of incremental builds as it would potentially allow a template that never changes to only require a single render step for the entire lifecycle of a project 🤩

This would be incredibly helpful for integration with https://github.com/google/wireit and its watch command.

Wireit watch + eleventy incremental cold start can help prevent the most horrifying string of words in the english language:

You saved while Eleventy was running, let’s run again. (265 remain)

I'm not sure I understand why this issue is closed.
Does cold start incremental build feature really works now?

I see the documentation page still shows this as TODO.
Also having tried, it will always recompile all md files at every startup of 11ty.

Thank you!
