Because C4::Context uses an in-memory hash for caching sysprefs,
changing a syspref under a multi-threaded persistent environment
requires a server restart. This patch makes it possible disable
the syspref cache.
To test:
1) If you are using a multi-threaded persistent server (Starman, etc.),
change a syspref and note that the effects of the syspref change may
or may not be visible on any given request before applying this patch.
You will need to choose a syspref with obvious effects that can be
seen by simply refreshing the page. I recommend enabling or
disabling additional languages in the OPAC, since you can refresh the
page a dozen times and reasonably expect to see the new behavior you
set only 1/n of the time.
2) Apply patch.
3) Add "C4::Context->disable_syspref_cache();" to your koha.psgi file
4) Repeat step 1, noting that you never see the stale behavior.
5) Run test at t/db_dependent/Context.t.
