This issue makes several fixes for the session loader and the session store.
* maxsize argument now works for session caches.
* fixed performance hole when interation occurs frequently.
* fixed cache purge bug occuring when multiple caches are defined before being used.
* improved lastaccess handling.
Big thanks to Marina who contributed the following commits:
* Always make sure the elements in cache are sorted so we need to remove only elements in the beginning of array
* Remove expired elements from session store to free memory
* Minor bug fixes
MDL-38162 fixes the issue about testing the connection to the memcached
daemon, which means testing once the connection to the pool of servers
and not to each of the servers while being added to the pool.
It misses to move the comment to that code too.

isset is much faster than array_key_exists. For caches we need to
ensure as much performance as possible. To all null to continue to
be stored and provide correct results, non ttl also now saves in
$this->store[$key][0]. As isset($this->store[$key]) will return
true in all cases.
time() as found in cache::now() can be slow on some platforms and
we shouldn't bother checking it unless needed. It also stops non-ttl
caches paying the ttl price.
Unit tests were adjusted to ensure null is still handled correctly
when we are only using isset.
By holding onto a reference of the global $CFG object we
can be sure that it isn't destroyed before we are done
with it.
This allows for caches to be used within destructors for
purposes such as delayed writes.
Putting them inside the function get_default_stores ensures
that they will be included from anywhere that calls get_default_stores.

get_plugin_list was calling clean_param($pluginname, PARAM_PLUGIN) a
lot (600+ times per page), and that is much slower than you would guess.
A specific function for this case, (which we then also use from
clean_param) is a performance win.
This change is a large change to the way sessions are handled
within MUC after it was discovered that session did not function
as expected when any store other than the default session store
was being used.
As part of this change the session loader has been largely
customised in order to consolidate session data for the loader.
The unit tests have also being greatly increased to provide
better coverage for sessions.
