Steve Howell 61a9f701bd cache: Use a single cache entry for cross-realm bots.
The cross-realm bots rarely change, and there are only
a few of them, so we just query them all at once and
put them in the cache.

Also, we put the dictionaries in the cache, instead of
the user objects, since there is nothing time-sensitive
about the dictionaries, and they are small. This saves
us a little time computing the avatar url and things
like that, not to mention marshalling costs.

This commit also fixes a theoretical bug where we would
have stale cache entries if somebody somehow modified
the cross-realm bots without bumping KEY_PREFIX.

Internally we no longer pre-fetch the realm objects for
the bots, but we don't get overly precise about picking
individual fields from UserProfile, since we rarely hit
the database and since we don't store raw ORM objects
in the cache.

The test diffs make it look like we are hitting the
cache an extra time, but the tests weren't counting
bulk fetches.  Now we only use a single key for all
bots rather a key per bot.
