Fixed a bug in processing invalidations. Cache last tid shouldn't be set until all of the invalidations have been processed. For this reason, we no longer set the last tid in the cache invalidate method

Use with to simplify locking code.

The interface, ZODB.interfaces.IStorage was incorrect. The store
  method should never return a sequence of oid and serial pairs.

---------

- Database connections didn't invalidate cache entries when conflict
  errors were raised in response to checkCurrentSerialInTransaction
  errors. Normally, this shouldn't be a problem, since there should be
  pending invalidations for these oids which will cause the object to
  be invalidated. There have been issues with ZEO persistent cache
  management that have caused out of date data to remain in the cache.
  (It's possible that the last of these were addressed in the
  3.10.0b5.) Invalidating read data when there is a conflict error
  provides some extra insurance.
