[w3c/ServiceWorker] Editorial: serialize CacheStorage access on a dedicated parallel queue (PR #1838)

Updates to [cache-storage-match](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#dom-cachestorage-match), [cache-storage-has](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#dom-cachestorage-has), [cache-storage-open](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#dom-cachestorage-open), [cache-storage-delete](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#dom-cachestorage-delete), and [cache-storage-keys](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#dom-cachestorage-keys).

Two issues addressed:
1. **Data race on the shared name-to-cache map.** Multiple `CacheStorage` objects across documents/workers share the same underlying map, so ad-hoc "in parallel" blocks that iterate and mutate the map could race. Introduce a dedicated `name to cache map parallel queue` on the map and route all five methods through it so reads and writes are serialized.
2. **Promise resolution from parallel context.** Each method resolved/rejected its promise directly from the parallel block. Wrap the resolves/rejects in a `Queue a task` on the promise's responsible event loop.

This is part 6/6 of #1740. Also closes #1831 (duplicate). Split out from #1755 for focused review.
