Bug Description

The python-memcached library[1] has not updated since 2017.
There was a discussion to move the project to a different maintainer but no progress was made.
It was mentioned that pymemcache would be a better replacement of python-memcached.

IMO it's better to consider any alternative solution instead of relying on the dead project.
One option is to just deprecate oslo_cache.memcache_pool and use only the implementation from dogpile.

I'll add keystonemiddleware because it imports that memcache_pool implementation based on python-memcached.
