refactor: improve cache system typing in PlatformServiceMixin

- Replace WeakMap<any, Map<string, CacheEntry<any>>> with proper VueComponentWithMixin interface
- Add VueComponentWithMixin interface with _platformService, $options, activeDid, and platformService() method
- Use CacheEntry<unknown> instead of CacheEntry<any> for better type safety
- Replace (this as any) with (this as unknown as VueComponentWithMixin) for safer type assertions
- Reduces TypeScript warnings from 53 to 29 (24 warnings eliminated)
- Maintains all existing functionality while improving type safety
