Query: Move cache key generation to its own method.

Introduce `WP_Query::generate_cache_key()` for generating the cache key used by the main database query.

This removes the need for a filter to test that cache keys do not include the WPDB placeholder causing unreachable cache keys. The tests now call `WP_Query::generate_cache_key()` directly.

The filter `wp_query_cache_key` is removed as a hard deprecation. The filter was not included in a stable release.

Follow up to [54634].
