Bug 16044: Add an unsafe flag to Koha::Cache->get_from_cache

If the caller/developer knows what he is doing, he can decide not to
deep copy the structure. It will be faster but unsafe!
If the structure is modified, the cache will also be updated.
This option must be used with care and is not the default behavior.

Retrieve the value stored under the specified key in the default cache.
The options can set an unsafe flag to avoid a deep copy.
When this flag is set, you have to know what you are doing!
If you are retrieving a structure and modify it, you will modify the contain
of the cache!
