    Switch to PyMemcacheCache backend
    
    The new library is already supported in django 3.2 and gives us better
    support for IPv6 addresses and encrypted connections.
    
    Also, the same library is being used by all other OpenStack projects.

Bug description:
  [Description]
  In 4.1 the django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache backend is removed.

  https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/docs/releases/4.1.txt#L749

  It's been deprecated since 3.2:

  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/releases/3.2/#features-
  deprecated-in-3-2

  "The django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache backend is
  deprecated as python-memcached has some problems and seems to be
  unmaintained. Use django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyMemcacheCache
  or django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache instead."

  This results in the following error on Ubuntu Mantic:

  InvalidCacheBackendError at /
  Could not find backend 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache': Module "django.core.cache.backends.memcached" does not define a "MemcachedCache" attribute/class

  [Test Case]
  Deploy openstack with the openstack-dashboard (horizon) on Ubuntu mantic. Ensure the dashboard is functional and no errors in /var/log/apache/error.log.

  [Regression Potential]
  This fix is inline with the upstream. Currently the dashboard is not functional without this fix.
