Fix fetch-with-cache handling of interwoven requests (#10079)
A data race was introduced in #9919 when the old synchronous storage
API was replaced with an async storage API. The problem arises when
`fetchWithCache` is called a second time while it's still processing
another call. In this case, the `cachedFetch` object can become
stale while blocked waiting for a fetch response, and result in a cache
being overwritten unintentionally.

See this example (options omitted for simplicity, and assuming an empty
initial cache):

```
await Promise.all([
  fetchWithCache('https://metamask.io/foo'),
  fetchWithCache('https://metamask.io/bar'),
]
```

The order of events could be as follows:

1. Empty cache retrieved for `/foo` route
2. Empty cache retrieved for `/bar` route
3. Call made to `/foo` route
4. Call made to `/bar` route
5. `/foo` response is added to the empty cache object retrieved in
  step 1, then is saved in the cache.
6. `/bar` response is added to the empty cache object retrieved in
  step 2, then is saved in the cache.

In step 6, the cache object saved would not contain the `/foo`
response set in step 5. As a result, `/foo` would never be cached.

This problem was resolved by embedding the URL being cached directly in
the cache key. This prevents simultaneous responses from overwriting
each others caches.

Technically a data race still exists when handing simultaneous
responses to the same route, but the result would be that the last call
to finish would overwrite the previous. This seems acceptable.
