UI shows incorrect cached elements for Pods list in Service details view

SURE-10760

Setup

• Rancher version: 2.12.1
• Rancher UI Extensions: n/a
• Browser type & version: any

Describe the bug

With ui-sql-cache off, the list of pods is cached (at least when viewing a Service details view) incorrectly. Check repro steps for more information

To Reproduce

• Provision a Rancher v2.12.1 cluster.
• Disable the ui-sql-cache Feature Flag.
• Create a Service without any matching selector like the following (import YAML):

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: emptyservice
spec:
  selector:
    bla: irrelevant
  type: ClusterIP
  ports:
  - name: http
    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: http

• Click on the emptyservice (details view for Service). The list under the pods tab should be empty.
• Click on Workloads -> Pods:
• Click again on Service Discovery -> Services -> emptyservice (details view for Service).
• See the list of all pods (which shouldn't be related to this Service)

Result
emptyservice shows incorrectly the list of all Pods

Expected Result

emptyservice should not show any Pod associated

Additional context

• With ui-sql-cache on the Service details view Pod's list briefly shows the incorrectly the list of all Pods, but right after updates to the correct value (this was validated in the scenario where we've disabled ui-sql-cache first, then re-enabled it)

• Pertinent question is if findLabelSelector action and matchingLabelSelector getter are ready to work with ui-sql-cache off
