Logging service not available for memcache during boot

Problem/Motivation

I'm experiencing two errors when attempting to ensureBinDeletionTimeIsSet while constructing Drupal's service container.

• Memcache encouters an error during a set() call.
• The Memcached driver attempts to log the error but fails since the service container is still being built.

This issue seems intermittent so I suspect there is a problem with the memcache service (though it seems it can connect). However I can't see the log since the logging service isn't there to log it.

Worse, this results in a Fatal Error and kills the whole request.

Proposed resolution

• Firstly it doesn't seem like memcache should fail because its logging service is not available. At the least, it should fail silently. A failed cache set should only result if further cache misses later on.
• Perhaps there should be a fall back logging option such as PHP's error_log function.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes
