Description

**I'm submitting a feature request**

**Webpack Version:**
5.74.0

**Babel Core Version**:
7.18.10

**Babel Loader Version**:
8.2.5

**Please tell us about your environment:**
OSX 13.1

**Current behavior:**

For the cache directory, a cache file will be generated every time the code is changed, which will cause a lot of unnecessary disk usage. I found that some of my projects have more than 1G cache usage.

**Expected behavior:**

It is expected that one source file corresponds to one cache file. Every time a file is changed, only the old cached file is overwritten, no new one is added. thanks.
