mdelete and Cache::Memcached::delete_multi()

[Marc]

There is no need for server or wire protocol changes to do multidelete.  We
have a C client that does multiupdates and multideletes.  Facebook's
SocialAds uses it heavily and was in fact the first use case for multiset
support.


[Getting this client open-sourced is on my list of things to do]
