This requires JuliaLang/julia#56553 to be merged, and the new Compiler.jl stdlib to be registered in General beforehand.

Since #56409, Compiler.jl as a standard library has become available. However, for Julia versions prior to this change, even though the stdlib can be installed via Pkg.jl, the precompilation fails due to code compatibility issues. Consequently, when an external package that uses the Compiler stdlib adds Compiler.jl to its Project.toml, the package would stop working on older Julia versions. To address this, this commit adopts the same approach as JET.jl. Specifically, on older Julia versions, a dummy `Compiler` module is defined, allowing dependent packages to switch between using the Compiler.jl stdlib or the previous `Core.Compiler`. While this is a somewhat hacky solution, it should resolve the issue for now.

To ensure that stale precompilation caches aren't used.

I'll fix it, but just be careful merging things that break that test. |

JuliaLang#56553) Since JuliaLang#56409, Compiler.jl as a standard library has become available. However, for Julia versions prior to this change, even though the stdlib can be installed via Pkg.jl, the precompilation fails due to code compatibility issues. Consequently, when an external package that uses the Compiler stdlib adds Compiler.jl to its Project.toml, the package would stop working on older Julia versions. To address this, this commit adopts the same approach as JET.jl. Specifically, on older Julia versions, a dummy `Compiler` module is defined, allowing dependent packages to switch between using the Compiler.jl stdlib or the previous `Core.Compiler`. While this is a somewhat hacky solution, it should resolve the issue for now. Also includes a change to include `ssair/show.jl` in the context of `Compiler` to ensure that stale precompilation caches are not used. And as a result this commit bumps the version of the Compiler.jl standard library.
