One entry should have been removed before v1.1

If anything wrong happens after a transaction is locked and before the end of
onTransactionCommitted, recovery phase should be run again, so that the master
gets correct last tid.

Following patch by Vincent is an attempt to fix this:

This implementation proper cache invalidation.

Connection to master is also made optional to load from storage nodes, as long
as partition table contains up-to-date data (which is anyway unlikely to change
when there is no master).

This is enough because on disconnection, the master already aborts all
transactions on its side.

This may help client to recover after an assertion failure.
For example, this should fix the following bug:

ERROR ZODB.Connection Couldn't load state for 0x13b6
Traceback (most recent call last):

Also, saves one local variable assignment in "hit" code path.

Use a non-intrusive code profiling tool with NEO instead, like pprofile.

Also, drop extraneous parentheses in another set's creation.

Nodes are likely to be running, so filtering before sort is unlikely to
save time. Caller is likely to stop iterating after first yield connection
("load" case), so move filtering inside loop.

Also, document non-straightforward code.

Connection is more often established than not, so do a first lookup without
locking, and only acquire it if it misses. Then do a second lookup in case
another thread also established connection, and connect if it still misses.

We think there's still a bug, in ZODB.Connection or ZPublisher/Publish,
but since commit c277ed20, NEO does not
require anymore that Storage.sync() is called in order to take into account
invalidations that have already been received since the last tpc_finish.

IOW, this is not the place for such fix because it's independant to NEO.
ERP5 already ships it for ZEO (patch disabled by default).

Replace a per-call cost with a constant one.

loadBefore is more likely than other loads, as it is how repeatable-read is
implemented and the vast majority of accesses are scoped to a transaction.
So put it first in 3-branches "if" choosing between load/loadBefore/loadSerial
code paths.
next_serial is likely to not be found, because application will likely
operate on up-to-date objects. So a test is more efficient than a
try..except. Inline this test in return statement to avoid defining a local.

Next version is actually a metapackage depending on:
  persistent 4.0
  BTrees 4.0
  ZODB 4.0
  ZEO 4.0

Note that version '123dev' is considered lower than '123'
