Some modules might perform a long-running logic in different stages of Redis lifetime, for example:
* command execution
* RDB loading
* thread safe context
During this long-running logic Redis is not responsive.
This PR offers
1. An API to process events while a busy command is running (`RM_Yield`)
2. A new flag (`ALLOW_BUSY`) to mark the commands that should be handled during busy
jobs which can also be used by modules (`allow-busy`)
3. In slow commands and thread safe contexts, this flag will start rejecting commands with -BUSY only
after `busy-reply-threshold`
4. During loading (`rdb_load` callback), it'll process events right away (not wait for `busy-reply-threshold`),
but either way, the processing is throttled to the server hz rate.
5. Allow modules to Yield to redis background tasks, but not to client commands
* rename `script-time-limit` to `busy-reply-threshold` (an alias to the pre-7.0 `lua-time-limit`)

Writable replicas now no longer use the values of expired keys. Expired keys are
deleted when lookupKeyWrite() is used, even on a writable replica. Previously,
writable replicas could use the value of an expired key in write commands such
as INCR, SUNIONSTORE, etc..
This commit also sorts out the mess around the functions lookupKeyRead() and
lookupKeyWrite() so they now indicate what we intend to do with the key and
are not affected by the command calling them.
Multi-key commands like SUNIONSTORE, ZUNIONSTORE, COPY and SORT with the
store option now use lookupKeyRead() for the keys they're reading from (which will
not allow reading from logically expired keys).
This commit also fixes a bug where PFCOUNT could return a value of an
expired key.
Test modules commands have their readonly and write flags updated to correctly
reflect their lookups for reading or writing. Modules are not required to
correctly reflect this in their command flags, but this change is made for
consistency since the tests serve as usage examples.
Fixes#6842. Fixes#7475.
With this fix, module data type registration will fail if the load or save callbacks are not defined, or the optional aux load and save callbacks are not either both defined or both missing.
This adds a copy callback for module data types, in order to make
modules compatible with the new COPY command.
The callback is optional and COPY will fail for keys with data types
that do not implement it.
With the previous API, a NULL return value was ambiguous and could
represent either an old value of NULL or an error condition. The new API
returns a status code and allows the old value to be returned
by-reference.
This commit also includes test coverage based on
tests/modules/datatype.c which did not exist at the time of the original
commit.
Add two new functions that leverage the RedisModuleDataType mechanism
for RDB serialization/deserialization and make it possible to use it
to/from arbitrary strings:
* RM_SaveDataTypeToString()
* RM_LoadDataTypeFromString()
