Implemented a size-bounded LRU cache for RegExp objects in htmlExtractor.ts.

💡 What: Caches dynamically instantiated RegExp objects based on their pattern and flags using an LRUCache with a limit of 1000 items. Ensures lastIndex = 0 on every usage. Also fixes a TypeScript warning in NpmPackageService by safely casting stdout to string.
🎯 Why: In applyRegexProcessing, a new RegExp was instantiated for every extracted field across every item during RSS feed parsing. This caused severe repeated compilation overhead inside a synchronous hot loop, blocking the event loop. The LRU cache ensures safe memory bounds against dynamic user patterns.
📊 Impact: Significantly reduces CPU load and GC overhead when parsing feeds with many items and selectors.
🔬 Measurement: Verify by parsing multiple RSS feeds with regex processing enabled; observe reduced parsing time and memory profiling.
