Stop type inference from indefinite retry on failed function resolution

[sklam]

Fix hang seen in https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/9257

Summary of changes:

• Added a fail-cache to remember failed function resolution for the current compilation session and avoid repeated attempts of known failing cases.
• The fail-cache can be disabled by an env-var to help debug any unforeseen problem arising from this change of type inference behavior.

TODO:

• [x] Add a config to disable the fail cache.
