fix(comment-checker): fix error skip bug and add parser/language caching

- Fix overly broad error detection that skipped comments when LSP warnings present
- Add Parser class and language WASM caching for ~3.5x faster subsequent parses
- Add debug logging controlled by COMMENT_CHECKER_DEBUG=1 env var
