Cédric Krier da24071467 Make Cache transactional
We implement sync, commit and rollback to follow transaction semantic.
When a transaction clears a cache, the global cache is cleared only when the
transaction is committed meanwhile the transaction will use a cache for itself
only.
We remove _nocache option because the sync, commit and rollback operate only
for the transaction.

=====
Cache
=====
.. class:: Cache(name[, size_limit[, context]])
The class is used to cache values between server requests. The `name` should
be unique and it's used to identify the cache. We usually use
`<class_name>.<content_name>` to make it unique. The `size_limit` field can
be used to limit the number of values cached and the `context` parameter
is used to indicate if the cache depends on the user context and is true
by default.
The cache is cleaned on :class:`Transaction` starts and resets on
:class:`Transaction` commit or rollback.
.. warning::
As there is no deepcopy of the values cached, they must never be mutated
after being set in or retrieved from the cache.
..
.. method:: get(key[, default])
Retrieve the value of the key in the cache. If a `default` is specified it
will be returned when the key is missing otherwise it will return `None`.
.. method:: set(key, value)
Sets the `value` of the `key` in the cache.
.. method:: clear()
Clears all the keys in the cache.
.. classmethod:: sync(transaction)
Synchronize cache instances using transaction.
.. classmethod:: commit(transaction)
Apply cache changes from transaction.
.. classmethod:: rollback(transaction)
Remove cache changes from transaction.
.. staticmethod:: drop(dbname)
Drops all the caches for database `dbname`
.. note::
By default Tryton uses a MemoryCache, but this behaviour can be overridden
by setting a fully qualified name of an alternative class defined in the
configuration `class` of the `cache` section.
