It is now safe to cache a reference to a cache and expect consistent results.

Changing identifiers altered cache results where a reference was
held to the cache. Identifiers have been set to be cached with
identifiers included so the caches are separate.

As a consequence of this it was identified that invalidation events
and identifiers don't easily work together as an event can't determine
which identifiers should be used for cache invalidation.  So invalidation
events have been made incompatible with identifiers being set.  No core
code used this combination as it's not possible to understand any expected
behaviour.

Event invalidation for application and session caches was centralised to the same
location.  The only difference was the name of the lastinvalidation variable. This
improves support and consistency of invalidation code.
