Merge branch '_tent/cache-config-read' of https://github.com/sebres/fail2ban

* '_tent/cache-config-read' of https://github.com/sebres/fail2ban:
  code review, change log entries added;
  reset share/cache storage (if we use 'reload' in client with interactive mode)
  normalize tabs/spaces in docstrings;
  cache-config-read-v2 merged; logging normalized, set log level for loading (read or use shared) file(s) to INFO; prevent to read some files twice by read inside "_getIncludes" and by "read" self (occurred by only one file);
  code review; more stable config sharing, configurator always shares it config readers now;
  code review: use the same code (corresponding test cases - with sharing on and without it);
  rewritten caching resp. sharing of ConfigReader and SafeConfigParserWithIncludes (v.2, first and second level cache, without fingerprinting etc.);
  code review
  ConfigReader/ConfigWrapper renamed as suggested from @yarikoptic; + code clarifying (suggested also);
  Partially merge remote-tracking from 'sebres:cache-config-read-820': test cases extended, configurator.py adapted for test case.
  ENH: keep spitting out logging to the screen in LogCaptureTestCases if HEAVYDEBUG
  test case for check the read of config files will be cached;
  more precise by test
  ConfigWrapper class introduced: sharing of the same ConfigReader object between JailsReader and JailReader (don't read jail config each jail); sharing of the same DefinitionInitConfigReader (ActionReader, FilterReader) between all jails using that; cache of read a config files was optimized; test case extended for all types of config readers;
  config cache optimized - prevent to read the same config file inside different resources multiple times; test case: read jail file only once;
  test case for check the read of config files will be cached;
  caching of read config files, to make start of fail2ban faster, see issue #820

+     timed out and kills him), see gh-824
    * UTF-8 fixes in pure-ftp thanks to Johannes Weberhofer. Closes gh-806.

    - Added Cloudflare API action
 
 - Enhancements
+   * Start performance of fail2ban-client (and tests) increased, start time
+     and cpu usage rapidly reduced. Introduced a shared storage logic, to bypass
+     reading lots of config files (see gh-824).
+     Thanks to Joost Molenaar for good catch (reported gh-820).
    * Fail2ban-regex - add print-all-matched option. Closes gh-652
    * Suppress fail2ban-client warnings for non-critical config options
