2.4.2 beta backports (#10488)

* version: bump beta

* Сaching through docker volume (#10477)

* _old codebase_ before docker update

* before docker update, testing runnr

* docker update, testing the caching

* distributed job cargo homes

* distributed job cargo homes 2

* distributed job cargo homes 3

* dockerfile with gitlab checkout, audit uses template

* dockerfile gets repo in volume

* change builds_dir

* trying docker cache for repo

* repo cached automatically

* after script is not concatenated

* check sccache non-cacheable reasons nature

* watch cache

* log sccache

* log sccache 2

* debug log sccache

* fix debug log sccache

* fix debug log sccache 2

* debug log cache 3

* debug log cache 3

* trace log all sccache

* test wo cargo cache

* test w removed cargo cache

* report non-cacheable reasons, cargo cache is back and empty

* report non-cacheable reasons, cargo cache is back and empty 2

* report non-cacheable reasons, cargo cache is back and empty 3

* wrap into after_script

* restore CI tags

`qa` -> `linux-docker`

* return to main runners, this will fail until config on runners And Dockerfile won't be updated

* typo fix CI lint

* return to docker tag

* fix win&mac build (#10486)

add CARGO_HOME:                      "${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/.cargo"

* fix(extract `timestamp_checked_add` as lib) (#10383)

* fix(extract `timestamp_checked_add` as lib)

* fix(whisper types): remove unused `EmptyTopics`

* fix(time-lib): feature-flag to use time-lib or std

This commit adds conditional compilation checks that falls back to `our time-lib` when
`time_checked_add` is not available in the standard library

Note, `time_checked_add` covers both `checked_add` and `checked_sub`

* fix(grumble): use cfg_attr to define rustc feature
