[FEATURE] Authentication against Memcached

[arovetto]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using cachedb_memcached module it seems not possible to provide username/password for authentication against a memcached server protected with SASL.
Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to use authentication also with this kind of cache (in the same way is possible to do with redis), because sensitive information could be stored there (e.g. user's password).
Implementation

• Component: cachedb_memcached
• Type: module's parameter
• Name: cachedb_url
  Extend the usage of cachedb_url to provide also username and passoword like in the following example
  modparam("cachedb_memcached", "cachedb_url","memcached:g1://user2:Password1234@memcached-host:11211/")
  Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Hi, do you have any news? I think that leaving memcached accessible to anonymous user is not the best for security.
