Persistent caching for all Container classes
Move constants to the top, expiration adjustments

All global constants now reside at the top of the code
PlanType default expiration set to NEVER_EXPIRE
CaseRun default expiration is now NEVER_CACHE
Common identifier width handling
Document logging with custom level, some cleanup
Fix problem with restoring containers from the cache

When restoring the container from the cache, unpickling failed
because of trying to construct set() of objects which were not
fully rebuild yet (__hash__ failed because of missing self._id).

So we need to convert containers into list of ids before the
cache dump and instantiate the objects back after cache restore.
In addition, expiration setup moved to a separate method setup()
Correctly handle modified objects with caching

Remove the implicit update() in __del__ (unreliable, not supported)
Update the object._time_cached timestamp when updating to server
When checking cache for expired objects remove modified as well
Use temporary cache file for running the test suite
New method Cache.update() for group updates

The method updates all modified objects in the cache.  It uses
MultiCall to perform the update which can significantly speed
up things when compared to updating each object separately.
