Fix race condition issues between the main thread and module threads (#12817)
Fix #12785 and other race condition issues.
See the following isolated comments.

The following report was obtained using SANITIZER thread.
```sh
make SANITIZER=thread
./runtest-moduleapi --config io-threads 4 --config io-threads-do-reads yes --accurate
```

1. Fixed thread-safe issue in RM_UnblockClient()
Related discussion:
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#issuecomment-1831181220
* When blocking a client in a module using `RM_BlockClientOnKeys()` or
`RM_BlockClientOnKeysWithFlags()`
with a timeout_callback, calling RM_UnblockClient() in module threads
can lead to race conditions
     in `updateStatsOnUnblock()`.

     - Introduced: 
        Version: 6.2
        PR: #7491

     - Touch:
`server.stat_numcommands`, `cmd->latency_histogram`, `server.slowlog`,
and `server.latency_events`
     
     - Harm Level: High
Potentially corrupts the memory data of `cmd->latency_histogram`,
`server.slowlog`, and `server.latency_events`

     - Solution:
Differentiate whether the call to moduleBlockedClientTimedOut() comes
from the module or the main thread.
Since we can't know if RM_UnblockClient() comes from module threads, we
always assume it does and
let `updateStatsOnUnblock()` asynchronously update the unblock status.
     
* When error reply is called in timeout_callback(), ctx is not
thread-safe, eventually lead to race conditions in `afterErrorReply`.

     - Introduced: 
        Version: 6.2
        PR: #8217

     - Touch
       `server.stat_total_error_replies`, `server.errors`, 

     - Harm Level: High
       Potentially corrupts the memory data of `server.errors`
   
      - Solution: 
Make the ctx in `timeout_callback()` with `REDISMODULE_CTX_THREAD_SAFE`,
and asynchronously reply errors to the client.

2. Made RM_Reply*() family API thread-safe
Related discussion:
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#discussion_r1408707239
Call chain: `RM_Reply*()` -> `_addReplyToBufferOrList()` -> touch
server.current_client

    - Introduced: 
       Version: 7.2.0
       PR: #12326

   - Harm Level: None
Since the module fake client won't have the `CLIENT_PUSHING` flag, even
if we touch server.current_client,
     we can still exit after `c->flags & CLIENT_PUSHING`.

   - Solution
      Checking `c->flags & CLIENT_PUSHING` earlier.

3. Made freeClient() thread-safe
    Fix #12785

    - Introduced: 
       Version: 4.0
Commit:
3fcf959e60

    - Harm Level: Moderate
       * Trigger assertion
It happens when the module thread calls freeClient while the io-thread
is in progress,
which just triggers an assertion, and doesn't make any race condiaions.

* Touch `server.current_client`, `server.stat_clients_type_memory`, and
`clientMemUsageBucket->clients`.
It happens between the main thread and the module threads, may cause
data corruption.
1. Error reset `server.current_client` to NULL, but theoretically this
won't happen,
because the module has already reset `server.current_client` to old
value before entering freeClient.
2. corrupts `clientMemUsageBucket->clients` in
updateClientMemUsageAndBucket().
3. Causes server.stat_clients_type_memory memory statistics to be
inaccurate.
    
    - Solution:
* No longer counts memory usage on fake clients, to avoid updating
`server.stat_clients_type_memory` in freeClient.
* No longer resetting `server.current_client` in unlinkClient, because
the fake client won't be evicted or disconnected in the mid of the
process.
* Judgment assertion `io_threads_op == IO_THREADS_OP_IDLE` only if c is
not a fake client.

4. Fixed free client args without GIL
Related discussion:
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#discussion_r1408706695
When freeing retained strings in the module thread (refcount decr), or
using them in some way (refcount incr), we should do so while holding
the GIL,
otherwise, they might be simultaneously freed while the main thread is
processing the unblock client state.

    - Introduced: 
       Version: 6.2.0
       PR: #8141

   - Harm Level: Low
     Trigger assertion or double free or memory leak. 

   - Solution:
Documenting that module API users need to ensure any access to these
retained strings is done with the GIL locked

5. Fix adding fake client to server.clients_pending_write
    It will incorrectly log the memory usage for the fake client.
Related discussion:
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#issuecomment-1851899163

    - Introduced: 
       Version: 4.0
Commit:
9b01b64430

    - Harm Level: None
      Only result in NOP

    - Solution:
       * Don't add fake client into server.clients_pending_write
* Add c->conn assertion for updateClientMemUsageAndBucket() and
updateClientMemoryUsage() to avoid same
         issue in the future.
So now it will be the responsibility of the caller of both of them to
avoid passing in fake client.

6. Fix calling RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart() and
RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeEnd() without GIL
    - Introduced: 
       Version: 6.2
       PR: #7491

   - Harm Level: Low
Causes inaccuracies in command latency histogram and slow logs, but does
not corrupt memory.

   - Solution:
Module API users, if know that non-thread-safe APIs will be used in
multi-threading, need to take responsibility for protecting them with
their own locks instead of the GIL, as using the GIL is too expensive.

### Other issue
1. RM_Yield is not thread-safe, fixed via #12905.

### Summarize
1. Fix thread-safe issues for `RM_UnblockClient()`, `freeClient()` and
`RM_Yield`, potentially preventing memory corruption, data disorder, or
assertion.
2. Updated docs and module test to clarify module API users'
responsibility for locking non-thread-safe APIs in multi-threading, such
as RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart/End(), RM_FreeString(),
RM_RetainString(), and RM_HoldString().

### About backpot to 7.2
1. The implement of (1) is not too satisfying, would like to get more
eyes.
2. (2), (3) can be safely for backport
3. (4), (6) just modifying the module tests and updating the
documentation, no need for a backpot.
4. (5) is harmless, no need for a backpot.

Cleanup around script_caller, fix tracking of scripts and ACL logging for RM_Call (#11770)
* Make it clear that current_client is the root client that was called by
  external connection
* add executing_client which is the client that runs the current command
  (can be a module or a script)
* Remove script_caller that was used for commands that have CLIENT_SCRIPT
  to get the client that called the script. in most cases, that's the current_client,
  and in others (when being called from a module), it could be an intermediate
  client when we actually want the original one used by the external connection.

bugfixes:
* RM_Call with C flag should log ACL errors with the requested user rather than
  the one used by the original client, this also solves a crash when RM_Call is used
  with C flag from a detached thread safe context.
* addACLLogEntry would have logged info about the script_caller, but in case the
  script was issued by a module command we actually want the current_client. the
  exception is when RM_Call is called from a timer event, in which case we don't
  have a current_client.

behavior changes:
* client side tracking for scripts now tracks the keys that are read by the script
  instead of the keys that are declared by the caller for EVAL

other changes:
* Log both current_client and executing_client in the crash log.
* remove prepareLuaClient and resetLuaClient, being dead code that was forgotten.
* remove scriptTimeSnapshot and snapshot_time and instead add cmd_time_snapshot
  that serves all commands and is reset only when execution nesting starts.
* remove code to propagate CLIENT_FORCE_REPL from the executed command
  to the script caller since scripts aren't propagated anyway these days and anyway
  this flag wouldn't have had an effect since CLIENT_PREVENT_PROP is added by scriptResetRun.
* fix a module GIL violation issue in afterSleep that was introduced in #10300 (unreleased)

Add RM_SetContextUser to support acl validation in RM_Call (and scripts) (#10966)
Adds a number of user management/ACL validaiton/command execution functions to improve a
Redis module's ability to enforce ACLs correctly and easily.

* RM_SetContextUser - sets a RedisModuleUser on the context, which RM_Call will use to both
  validate ACLs (if requested and set) as well as assign to the client so that scripts executed via
  RM_Call will have proper ACL validation.
* RM_SetModuleUserACLString - Enables one to pass an entire ACL string, not just a single OP
  and have it applied to the user
* RM_GetModuleUserACLString - returns a stringified version of the user's ACL (same format as dump
  and list).  Contains an optimization to cache the stringified version until the underlying ACL is modified.
* Slightly re-purpose the "C" flag to RM_Call from just being about ACL check before calling the
  command, to actually running the command with the right user, so that it also affects commands
  inside EVAL scripts. see #11231
