Bug PHP 7.1 throws error when selecting Memcached

[furnival]

FYI: I have the latest version of Memcached running on PHP 7.1. When I selected Memcached as a caching option in VB Optimise's control panel I got this error:

Fatal User Error: The Memcached class is no longer supported, please update your config to use Memcache in ..../includes/class_datastore.php on line 23

I was told to "update" to Memcache even though Memcache is obsolete!

I am now successfully using Redis so it's no big deal, more of an FYI.

This has nothing to do with vboptimise, this is a issue with vbulletin & 4.2.5

Use the following in config.php, if you have the memcached array in config.php, change it back to the original coding as well, the array crap does work, but its a pita & wasnt even finished by the moron dev at vbulletin that added it.

PLEASE NOTE: Its no longer "memcached", its "memcache", also install the php pecl memcache module.
