Change memcache to use memcache_pool driver

In HA tests it was identified that pymemcache backend does not
recover/fail over to the next memcache instance when one goes
away unexpected. Using memcache_pool with bmemcache does failover
properly.

The memcache_sasl_enable=true is a workaround to force oslo.cache
to switch to the bmemcache driver, which is the only driver in
memcache_pool supporting tls+fips.
