perf(core): getType uses a cache for well known types.

getType is called a lot, and it just run the same regexp over and over on the same base types. A cache increase its own efficiency by more than 80% for basic types. On a real world application with a lot of components, getType was profiled for 8% of call duration before this patch, and about 0.5% after. The impact is more limited for smaller applications.
