Memcached Redux

Description

Changes the famous Memcached WP Object Cache backend to actually use the Memcached class (not the Memcache class). Implements wp_cache_get_multi() and wp_cache_set_multi()

wp_cache_get_multi( array(
    array( 'key', 'group' ),
    array( 'key', '' ),
    array( 'key', 'group' ),
    'key'
) );

wp_cache_set_multi( array(
    array( 'key', 'data', 'group' ),
    array( 'key', 'data' )
) );

Well, the plugin does its Job (cloud/centos7/apache/php/fpm/7.3 + memcached) fine. However, my site is quite komplex (multilingual, bbpress, aso..). Yesterday I had to make some changes (new pages) and the menu-system completely fell apart. It was not possible to add menu items, the connect between language-versions fell appart - horrible. Issue was finally solved by renaming the object_cache.php in wp_contend. So: The performance is really fine, but admin have to know what they are doing and disable plugin when changing (at least) menues.

Using the object cache plugin on my VPS from Upcloud managed with Serverpilot. Result? Everything feels much faster Using now php7.2 and can't wait that the memchached extension becomes available for php7.3

Memcached PHP extension and memcached servers are widely supported by many hosts these days (2016). So, this plugin just works with most hosts. Now, I can't see any site without using this plugin for WP Object Cache!
