rob05c opened a new pull request #4432: Fix broken ORT caching resulting in 
malformed config files
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4432
 
 
   Fixes ORT caching to CBOR. The current Gob encoding is fundamentally broken. 
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/4609 . It's not isomorphic: it does not 
decode what in encodes. In practical terms, default values like 0 become null 
pointers, resulting in missing remap lines in the config.
   
   This changes the default to CBOR, which is an IETF RFC standard. See 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049 .
   
   It also adds a unit test, to verify the default cache format is isomorphic. 
Gob fails the test, CBOR and JSON pass it.
   
   Includes tests. No docs, no changelog, no interface change.

   ## Which Traffic Control components are affected by this PR?
   - Traffic Ops ORT
   
   ## What is the best way to verify this PR?
   Run unit tests.
   
   Generate remap.config with assigned delivery services of type "HTTP" (which 
is represented by `0`, the default int value). Without this fix, remap lines 
will be missing. With fix, config file should have appropriate remap lines for 
HTTP DSes.
   
   ## If this is a bug fix, what versions of Traffic Control are affected?
   - master
   - 4.0.x
