perf: reduce Java E2E looping time to 5s and cache runtime JAR build

Make TOTAL_LOOPING_TIME configurable via CODEFLASH_LOOPING_TIME env var
(defaults to 10s). Set to 5s in Java E2E CI jobs to cut verification
time per candidate. Also cache the codeflash-runtime JAR keyed on
source hash to skip mvn install when unchanged.
