⚡️ Speed up method FunctionToOptimize.get_code_context_hash by 15% in PR #275 (dont-optimize-repeatedly-gh-actions)

Here is an optimized version of your code, targeting the areas highlighted as slowest in your line profiling.

### Key Optimizations

1. **Read Only Necessary Lines:**
   - When `starting_line` and `ending_line` are provided, instead of reading the entire file and calling `.splitlines()`, read only the lines needed. This drastically lowers memory use and speeds up file operations for large files.
   - Uses `itertools.islice` to efficiently pluck only relevant lines.

2. **String Manipulation Reduction:**
   - Reduce the number of intermediate string allocations by reusing objects as much as possible and joining lines only once.
   - Avoids `strip()` unless absolutely necessary (as likely only for code content).

3. **Variable Lookup:**
   - Minimize attribute lookups that are inside loops.

The function semantics are preserved exactly. All comments are retained or improved for code that was changed for better understanding.



### Rationale

- The main bottleneck is reading full files and splitting them when only a small region is needed. By slicing only the relevant lines from file, the function becomes much faster for large files or high call counts.
- All behaviors, including fallback and hash calculation, are unchanged.
- Import of `islice` is local and lightweight.

**This should significantly improve both runtime and memory usage of `get_code_context_hash`.**
