Changes compared to the earlier patch:

- hook_flush_caches moved to the module file, or it will never be invoked.
- hook_update_N cannot use current schema information, changed to hardcoded schema.

We need this because we use memcache and views_navigation cache entries are quickly evicted. Users then see a "Sorry, could not find the requested page." message. We also don't want these cache items in memcache.

Using a separate cachebin allows us to store the cache items in the database.

We could use the static VIEWS_NAVIGATION_CACHE_BIN here.

I'll fix this when committing the patch.
