chore: minor cleanups and perf tweaks from code review (#2910)

* chore: minor cleanups and perf tweaks from code review

- util/file.py, util/python_build_standalone.py: use hashlib.file_digest
  for streaming SHA-256 verification instead of loading whole archives
  into memory with read_bytes()
- logger.py: convert colors/symbols properties to functools.cached_property
  so the Colors/Symbols objects are constructed only once per Logger instance
- platforms/windows.py: remove redundant .strip() on where_pip (already
  stripped at assignment)
- util/python_build_standalone.py: remove unreachable python_base_dir.exists()
  guard (callers always pass a fresh temp subdirectory)
- util/file.py: add comment explaining the getattr shim for
  tar_.extraction_filter and when it can be removed

* revert: restore assertion to check python_base_dir existence
