When requesting a specific entity from the database, only one request to the database per node is allowed. This dramatically improves reliability during heavy load.
For example: let's say that 1000 req/s are being processed by a Kong node, and suddenly an in-memory entity is being invalidated and Kong needs to read it again from the database. Before this PR Kong would open 1000req/s to the database until that entity is stored into memory again. With this PR, only one read request will be opened to the database (per node), and the other requests (on the same node) will just wait until it's finally in memory again.
This also helps the performance of new nodes that are being added to the cluster (whose load goes from 0 to 100 real quick).
Closes #264.
