LCS -> STRALGO LCS.

STRALGO should be a container for mostly read-only string
algorithms in Redis. The algorithms should have two main
characteristics:

1. They should be non trivial to compute, and often not part of
programming language standard libraries.
2. They should be fast enough that it is a good idea to have optimized C
implementations.

Next thing I would love to see? A small strings compression algorithm.
