Improve memory efficiency of list keys
## Description of the feature
The new listpack encoding uses the old `list-max-listpack-size` config
to perform the conversion, which we can think it of as a node inside a
quicklist, but without 80 bytes overhead (internal fragmentation included)
of quicklist and quicklistNode structs.
For example, a list key with 5 items of 10 chars each, now takes 128 bytes
instead of 208 it used to take.
## Conversion rules
* Convert listpack to quicklist
When the listpack length or size reaches the `list-max-listpack-size` limit,
it will be converted to a quicklist.
* Convert quicklist to listpack
When a quicklist has only one node, and its length or size is reduced to half
of the `list-max-listpack-size` limit, it will be converted to a listpack.
This is done to avoid frequent conversions when we add or remove at the bounding size or length.
## Interface changes
1. add list entry param to listTypeSetIteratorDirection
When list encoding is listpack, `listTypeIterator->lpi` points to the next entry of current entry,
so when changing the direction, we need to use the current node (listTypeEntry->p) to
update `listTypeIterator->lpi` to the next node in the reverse direction.
## Benchmark
### Listpack VS Quicklist with one node
* LPUSH - roughly 0.3% improvement
* LRANGE - roughly 13% improvement
### Both are quicklist
* LRANGE - roughly 3% improvement
* LRANGE without pipeline - roughly 3% improvement
From the benchmark, as we can see from the results
1. When list is quicklist encoding, LRANGE improves performance by <5%.
2. When list is listpack encoding, LRANGE improves performance by ~13%,
the main enhancement is brought by `addListListpackRangeReply()`.
## Memory usage
1M lists(key:0~key:1000000) with 5 items of 10 chars ("hellohello") each.
shows memory usage down by 35.49%, from 214MB to 138MB.
## Note
1. Add conversion callback to support doing some work before conversion
Since the quicklist iterator decompresses the current node when it is released, we can
no longer decompress the quicklist after we convert the list.
## Move library meta data to be part of the library payload.
Following the discussion on https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/10429 and the intention to add (in the future) library versioning support, we believe that the entire library metadata (like name and engine) should be part of the library payload and not provided by the `FUNCTION LOAD` command. The reasoning behind this is that the programmer who developed the library should be the one who set those values (name, engine, and in the future also version). **It is not the responsibility of the admin who load the library into the database.**
The PR moves all the library metadata (engine and function name) to be part of the library payload. The metadata needs to be provided on the first line of the payload using the shebang format (`#!<engine> name=<name>`), example:
```lua
#!lua name=test
redis.register_function('foo', function() return 1 end)
```
The above script will run on the Lua engine and will create a library called `test`.
## API Changes (compare to 7.0 rc2)
* `FUNCTION LOAD` command was change and now it simply gets the library payload and extract the engine and name from the payload. In addition, the command will now return the function name which can later be used on `FUNCTION DELETE` and `FUNCTION LIST`.
* The description field was completely removed from`FUNCTION LOAD`, and `FUNCTION LIST`
## Breaking Changes (compare to 7.0 rc2)
* Library description was removed (we can re-add it in the future either as part of the shebang line or an additional line).
* Loading an AOF file that was generated by either 7.0 rc1 or 7.0 rc2 will fail because the old command syntax is invalid.
## Notes
* Loading an RDB file that was generated by rc1 / rc2 **is** supported, Redis will automatically add the shebang to the libraries payloads (we can probably delete that code after 7.0.3 or so since there's no need to keep supporting upgrades from an RC build).
Function PR was merged without AOF rw support because we thought this feature was going
to be removed on Redis 7.
Tests was added on aofrw.tcl
Other existing aofrw tests where slow due to unwanted rdb-key-save-delay

Creating fork (or even a foreground SAVE) during a transaction breaks the atomicity of the transaction.
In addition to that, it could mess up the propagated transaction to the AOF file.
This change blocks SAVE, PSYNC, SYNC and SHUTDOWN from being executed inside MULTI-EXEC.
It does that by adding a command flag, so that modules can flag their commands with that flag too.
Besides it changes BGSAVE, BGREWRITEAOF, and CONFIG SET appendonly, to turn the
scheduled flag instead of forking righ taway.
Other changes:
* expose `protected`, `no-async-loading`, and `no_multi` flags in COMMAND command
* add a test to validate propagation of FLUSHALL inside a transaction.
* add a test to validate how CONFIG SET that errors reacts in a transaction

PR #9890 may have introduced a problem.
There are tests that use MULTI-EXEC to make sure two BGSAVE / BGREWRITEAOF are executed together.
But now it's not valid to run run commands that create a snapshot inside a transaction (gonna be blocked soon)
This PR modifies the test not to rely on MULTI-EXEC.

- add needs:debug flag for some tests
- disable "save" in external tests (speedup?)
- use debug_digest proc instead of debug command directly so it can be skipped
- use OBJECT ENCODING instead of DEBUG OBJECT to get encoding
- add a proc for OBJECT REFCOUNT so it can be skipped
- move a bunch of tests in latency_monitor tests to happen later so that latency monitor has some values in it
- add missing close_replication_stream calls
- make sure to close the temp client if DEBUG LOG fails
Part two of implementing #8702 (zset), after #8887.
## Description of the feature
Replaced all uses of ziplist with listpack in t_zset, and optimized some of the code to optimize performance.
## Rdb format changes
New `RDB_TYPE_ZSET_LISTPACK` rdb type.
## Rdb loading improvements:
1) Pre-expansion of dict for validation of duplicate data for listpack and ziplist.
2) Simplifying the release of empty key objects when RDB loading.
3) Unify ziplist and listpack data verify methods for zset and hash, and move code to rdb.c.
## Interface changes
1) New `zset-max-listpack-entries` config is an alias for `zset-max-ziplist-entries` (same with `zset-max-listpack-value`).
2) OBJECT ENCODING will return listpack instead of ziplist.
## Listpack improvements:
1) Add `lpDeleteRange` and `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` functions to delete a range of entries from listpack.
2) Improve the performance of `lpCompare`, converting from string to integer is faster than converting from integer to string.
3) Replace `snprintf` with `ll2string` to improve performance in converting numbers to strings in `lpGet()`.
## Zset improvements:
1) Improve the performance of `zzlFind` method, use `lpFind` instead of `lpCompare` in a loop.
2) Use `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` instead of `lpDelete` twice to delete a element of zset.
## Tests
1) Add some unittests for `lpDeleteRange` and `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` function.
2) Add zset RDB loading test.
3) Add benchmark test for `lpCompare` and `ziplsitCompare`.
4) Add empty listpack zset corrupt dump test.
Part one of implementing #8702 (taking hashes first before other types)
## Description of the feature
1. Change ziplist encoded hash objects to listpack encoding.
2. Convert existing ziplists on RDB loading time. an O(n) operation.
## Rdb format changes
1. Add RDB_TYPE_HASH_LISTPACK rdb type.
2. Bump RDB_VERSION to 10
## Interface changes
1. New `hash-max-listpack-entries` config is an alias for `hash-max-ziplist-entries` (same with `hash-max-listpack-value`)
2. OBJECT ENCODING will return `listpack` instead of `ziplist`
## Listpack improvements:
1. Support direct insert, replace integer element (rather than convert back and forth from string)
3. Add more listpack capabilities to match the ziplist ones (like `lpFind`, `lpRandomPairs` and such)
4. Optimize element length fetching, avoid multiple calculations
5. Use inline to avoid function call overhead.
## Tests
1. Add a new test to the RDB load time conversion
2. Adding the listpack unit tests. (based on the one in ziplist.c)
3. Add a few "corrupt payload: fuzzer findings" tests, and slightly modify existing ones.

This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
When test stop 'load handler' by killing the process that generating the load,
some commands that already in the input buffer, still might be processed by the server.
This may cause some instability in tests, that count on that no more commands
processed after we stop the `load handler'
In this commit, new proc 'wait_load_handlers_disconnected' added, to verify that no more
cammands from any 'load handler' prossesed, by checking that the clients who
genreate the load is disconnceted.
Also, replacing check of dbsize with wait_for_ofs_sync before comparing debug digest, as
it would fail in case the last key the workload wrote was an overridden key (not a new one).
Affected tests
Race fix:
- failover command to specific replica works
- Connect multiple replicas at the same time (issue #141), master diskless=$mdl, replica diskless=$sdl
- AOF rewrite during write load: RDB preamble=$rdbpre
Cleanup and speedup:
- Test replication with blocking lists and sorted sets operations
- Test replication with parallel clients writing in different DBs
- Test replication partial resync: $descr (diskless: $mdl, $sdl, reconnect: $reconnect
Testing with Solaris C compiler (SunOS 5.11 11.2 sun4v sparc sun4v)
there were issues compiling due to atomicvar.h and running the
tests also failed because of "tail" usage not conform with Solaris
tail implementation. This commit fixes both the issues.
This replaces individual ziplist vs. linkedlist representations
for Redis list operations.
Big thanks for all the reviews and feedback from everybody in
