[jbosscache-dev] storeState/loadState moved to AbstractCacheLoader

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Yes lets leave them there.

This is actually a prime example for what Joshua Bloch calls "combining 
the virtues of interfaces and abstract classes by providing skeletal 
implementation class to go with each nontrivial interface that you
export". 

You don't have to go further than java collections library to see 
example of this principle exploited to the maximum.
