Purpose

@xWiiLLz Reported the hot cache's of remote peers were not updated when calling Set(). mailgun/groupcache#69

This PR fixes a long standing TODO where there was some question if the hot cache should always be updated on calls to Set().

Resolution

We should ALWAYS update the main cache and delete the key from the hot cache when Set() is called.

Rationale

We do not know when the owning peer may switch to a different node due to cluster topography changes. If an owner belongs to a different node the instant after Set() completes, calls to Get(), consulting the hot cache, may find the previously set value.

Because we don't know which or when a node in the cluster may become the owner, every node in the cluster should be treated identically.

I left the hotCache boolean in the signature of Set() as I didn't want to make a version breaking change.

LGTM. Just a little nit to pick.

Color terminals cannot be assumed.

Seems like this might have been true 10+ years ago, The worst that could happen is they get some escape codes in their output. I don't think we should optimize for the odd chance someone is running this on a TSR compatible terminal.
