Adds utils/gen-commands-json.py (#9958)
Following #9656, this script generates a "commands.json" file from the output
of the new COMMAND. The output of this script is used in redis/redis-doc#1714
and by redis/redis-io#259. This also converts a couple of rogue dashes (in 
'key-specs' and 'multiple-token' flags) to underscores (continues #9959).

COMMAND: Use underscores instead of hyphens in attributes (#9959)
some languages can build a json-like object by parsing a textual json,
but it works poorly when attributes contain hyphens

example in JS:
```
let j = JSON.parse(json)
j['key-name'] <- works
j.key-name <= illegal syntax
```

Auto-generate the command table from JSON files (#9656)
Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based
on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file).

These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands,
and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO.

These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then
committed to the repo and compiled.

The purpose is:
* Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic.
* drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc.
* delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be
  done in a separate PR)
* redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release
  artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, which will be
  generated from COMMAND's reply)
* the byproduct of this is:
  * module commands will be able to provide that info and possibly be more of a first-class citizens
  * in theory, one may be able to generate a redis client library for a strictly typed language, by using this info.

### Interface changes

#### COMMAND INFO's reply change (and arg-less COMMAND)

Before this commit the reply at index 7 contained the key-specs list
and reply at index 8 contained the sub-commands list (Both unreleased).
Now, reply at index 7 is a map of:
- summary - short command description
- since - debut version
- group - command group
- complexity - complexity string
- doc-flags - flags used for documentation (e.g. "deprecated")
- deprecated-since - if deprecated, from which version?
- replaced-by - if deprecated, which command replaced it?
- history - a list of (version, what-changed) tuples
- hints - a list of strings, meant to provide hints for clients/proxies. see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9876
- arguments - an array of arguments. each element is a map, with the possibility of nesting (sub-arguments)
- key-specs - an array of keys specs (already in unstable, just changed location)
- subcommands - a list of sub-commands (already in unstable, just changed location)
- reply-schema - will be added in the future (see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9845)

more details on these can be found in https://github.com/redis/redis-doc/pull/1697

only the first three fields are mandatory 

#### API changes (unreleased API obviously)

now they take RedisModuleCommand opaque pointer instead of looking up the command by name

- RM_CreateSubcommand
- RM_AddCommandKeySpec
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchIndex
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecBeginSearchKeyword
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysRange
- RM_SetCommandKeySpecFindKeysKeynum

Currently, we did not add module API to provide additional information about their commands because
we couldn't agree on how the API should look like, see https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/9944.

### Somehow related changes
1. Literals should be in uppercase while placeholder in lowercase. Now all the GEO* command
   will be documented with M|KM|FT|MI and can take both lowercase and uppercase

### Unrelated changes
1. Bugfix: no_madaory_keys was absent in COMMAND's reply
2. expose CMD_MODULE as "module" via COMMAND
3. have a dedicated uint64 for ACL categories (instead of having them in the same uint64 as command flags)

Treat subcommands as commands (#9504)
## Intro

The purpose is to allow having different flags/ACL categories for
subcommands (Example: CONFIG GET is ok-loading but CONFIG SET isn't)

We create a small command table for every command that has subcommands
and each subcommand has its own flags, etc. (same as a "regular" command)

This commit also unites the Redis and the Sentinel command tables

## Affected commands

CONFIG
Used to have "admin ok-loading ok-stale no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "ok-loading" in all except GET (this doesn't change behavior since
there were checks in the code doing that)

XINFO
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except CONSUMERS

XGROUP
Used to have "write use-memory"
Changes:
1. Dropped "use-memory" in all except CREATE and CREATECONSUMER

COMMAND
No changes.

MEMORY
Used to have "random read-only"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in PURGE and USAGE

ACL
Used to have "admin no-script ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin" in WHOAMI, GENPASS, and CAT

LATENCY
No changes.

MODULE
No changes.

SLOWLOG
Used to have "admin random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in RESET

OBJECT
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in ENCODING and REFCOUNT

SCRIPT
Used to have "may-replicate no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "may-replicate" in all except FLUSH and LOAD

CLIENT
Used to have "admin no-script random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except INFO and LIST
2. Dropped "admin" in ID, TRACKING, CACHING, GETREDIR, INFO, SETNAME, GETNAME, and REPLY

STRALGO
No changes.

PUBSUB
No changes.

CLUSTER
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin in countkeysinslots, getkeysinslot, info, nodes, keyslot, myid, and slots

SENTINEL
No changes.

(note that DEBUG also fits, but we decided not to convert it since it's for
debugging and anyway undocumented)

## New sub-command
This commit adds another element to the per-command output of COMMAND,
describing the list of subcommands, if any (in the same structure as "regular" commands)
Also, it adds a new subcommand:
```
COMMAND LIST [FILTERBY (MODULE <module-name>|ACLCAT <cat>|PATTERN <pattern>)]
```
which returns a set of all commands (unless filters), but excluding subcommands.

## Module API
A new module API, RM_CreateSubcommand, was added, in order to allow
module writer to define subcommands

## ACL changes:
1. Now, that each subcommand is actually a command, each has its own ACL id.
2. The old mechanism of allowed_subcommands is redundant
(blocking/allowing a subcommand is the same as blocking/allowing a regular command),
but we had to keep it, to support the widespread usage of allowed_subcommands
to block commands with certain args, that aren't subcommands (e.g. "-select +select|0").
3. I have renamed allowed_subcommands to allowed_firstargs to emphasize the difference.
4. Because subcommands are commands in ACL too, you can now use "-" to block subcommands
(e.g. "+client -client|kill"), which wasn't possible in the past.
5. It is also possible to use the allowed_firstargs mechanism with subcommand.
For example: `+config -config|set +config|set|loglevel` will block all CONFIG SET except
for setting the log level.
6. All of the ACL changes above required some amount of refactoring.

## Misc
1. There are two approaches: Either each subcommand has its own function or all
   subcommands use the same function, determining what to do according to argv[0].
   For now, I took the former approaches only with CONFIG and COMMAND,
   while other commands use the latter approach (for smaller blamelog diff).
2. Deleted memoryGetKeys: It is no longer needed because MEMORY USAGE now uses the "range" key spec.
4. Bugfix: GETNAME was missing from CLIENT's help message.
5. Sentinel and Redis now use the same table, with the same function pointer.
   Some commands have a different implementation in Sentinel, so we redirect
   them (these are ROLE, PUBLISH, and INFO).
6. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (e.g. instead of stats just
   for "config" you will have stats for "config|set", "config|get", etc.)
7. It is now possible to use COMMAND directly on subcommands:
   COMMAND INFO CONFIG|GET (The pipeline syntax was inspired from ACL, and
   can be used in functions lookupCommandBySds and lookupCommandByCString)
8. STRALGO is now a container command (has "help")

## Breaking changes:
1. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (see (5) above)
