Timo Tijhof 62e3da7e58 objectcache: Document the primary entry points people should use
There are imho too many ObjectCache methods, $wg*Cache* variables,
CACHE_ types, and wfGet*Cache() functions to know which ones
should actually be used publicly. This should make it easier to
know which ones should be used.

The difference between them was also harder to understand with the
main documentation sections about each of these living in
conceptually different places:
- classes (WANObjectCache)
- methods (ObjectCache::getMainStashInstance)
- variables (DefaultSettings: wgMainCacheType, wgMainWANCache, wgMainStash)

Also:
* Correct wfGetCache() documentation.
* Add the missing keywords for 'public' visibility.

/**
* Functions to get cache objects
*
* The word "cache" has two main dictionary meanings, and both
* are used in this factory class. They are:
*
* - a) Cache (the computer science definition).
* A place to store copies or computations on existing data for
* higher access speeds.
* - b) Storage.
* A place to store lightweight data that is not canonically
* stored anywhere else (e.g. a "hoard" of objects).
*
* The former should always use strongly consistent stores, so callers don't
* have to deal with stale reads. The later may be eventually consistent, but
* callers can use BagOStuff:READ_LATEST to see the latest available data.
*
* Primary entry points:
*
* - ObjectCache::newAccelerator( $fallbackType )
* Purpose: Cache.
* Stored only on the individual web server.
* Not associated with other servers.
*
* - wfGetMainCache()
* Purpose: Cache.
* Stored centrally within the local data-center.
* Not replicated to other DCs.
* Also known as $wgMemc. Configured by $wgMainCacheType.
*
* - ObjectCache::getMainWANInstance()
* Purpose: Cache.
* Stored in the local data-center's main cache (uses different cache keys).
* Delete events are broadcasted to other DCs. See WANObjectCache for details.
*
* - ObjectCache::getMainStashInstance()
* Purpose: Storage.
* Stored centrally within the local data-center.
* Changes are replicated to other DCs (eventually consistent).
* To retrieve the latest value (e.g. not from a slave), use BagOStuff:READ_LATEST.
*
* - wfGetCache( $cacheType )
* Get a specific cache type by key in $wgObjectCaches.
*
