* Makes it possible to safely call acquire_lock so that it throws an
exception instead of returning false if it can't get a lock (which
most existing uses assumed it already does).
* Fix some omissions from the requirelockingbeforewrite option (it
now checks on delete).
* Modinfo uses a versioned cache, so it is not necessary to delete
items, only increase the version. (Provided we keep track of
cacherev carefully...)
Adds new set_versioned and get_versioned APIs to cache, which means you can
request a specific version from cache and it will not return an outdated
version.
This is important when using multi-layer-caches where a local cache might have
an outdated version of the cache, but the shared cache has a current version.
With this feature, the content of the cache does not have to be rebuilt, as
it will automatically retrieve it from the shared cache if necessary.
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.
