v1.4.1 — ParallelZip is now @CacheableTask

Highlights

• ParallelZip is now @CacheableTask. Gradle's own Zip/AbstractArchiveTask are @DisableCachingByDefault upstream — Zip's own stated reason is "Not worth caching," a judgment call from when archive packaging was assumed cheap. ParallelZip previously inherited that same default rather than choosing it deliberately.
• With org.gradle.caching=true (or --build-cache), an unchanged rebuild now restores the archive straight from the build cache, skipping both the copy-walk and compression entirely — the single biggest available speedup for repeat builds, bigger than anything the compression pipeline itself can offer.
• This is safe specifically because the task already produces byte-for-byte reproducible output for identical inputs, and already separates @Input properties (store, level, skipAlreadyCompressed — affect the archive bytes) from @Internal ones (threads — doesn't).
• Verified with a real functional test: runs the task, wipes all local build state (not just the output file), reruns, and asserts the second run's outcome is genuinely FROM_CACHE with a still-valid archive — not just an annotation check.
