Implement shared parser functionality and related tests

- Added shared parsed and compiled caches to the parser for improved performance across engines. - Introduced `getSharedParser` function to initialize a shared parser instance. - Updated `NucleiEngine` initialization to optionally use shared caches based on environment variable. - Added tests to validate shared parser behavior and benchmark performance with and without shared caches. - Implemented sanitization of options in the compiled cache to prevent engine-scoped state retention.

 4. Use timeouts and context cancellation when calling Network related stuff. Also make sure to close your connections or provide a mechanism to the user of the API to do so.
 5. Always try to return single types from inside javascript with an error like `(IsRDP, error)` instead of returning multiple values `(name, version string, err error)`. The second one will get converted to an array is much harder for consumers to deal with. Instead, try to return `Structures` which will be accessible natively.
