Kunal Mehta ba701be532 Suggest "apcu" not "apc" in composer.json
apc is the pre-PHP 5.5 extension that was partly merged into PHP itself
(the opcode caching), and partly split into a separate apcu extension for
the userland caching. We want people to install apcu for better performance.

Note that we still need to support apc because of HHVM.
