looks like each platform implements long double differently (different bit count)
so we can't save them as binary, and we also want to avoid creating a new RDB
format version, so we save these are hex strings using "%La".
This commit includes a change in the arguments of ld2string to support this.
as well as tests for coverage and short reads.

During the refactoring needed for lazy free, specifically the conversion
of t_hash from struct robj to plain SDS strings, HINCRBFLOAT was
accidentally moved away from long doubles to doubles for internal
processing of increments and formatting.
The diminished precision created more obvious artifacts in the way small
numbers are formatted once we convert from decimal number in radix 10 to
double and back to its string in radix 10.
By using more precision, we now have less surprising results at least
with small numbers like "1.23", exactly like in the previous versions of
Redis.
See issue #2846.
Previously, many files had individual main() functions for testing,
but each required being compiled with their own testing flags.
That gets difficult when you have 8 different flags you need
to set just to run all tests (plus, some test files required
other files to be compiled aaginst them, and it seems some didn't
build at all without including the rest of Redis).
Now all individual test main() funcions are renamed to a test
function for the file itself and one global REDIS_TEST define enables
testing across the entire codebase.
Tests can now be run with:
- `./redis-server test <test>`
e.g. ./redis-server test ziplist
If REDIS_TEST is not defined, then no tests get included and no
tests are included in the final redis-server binary.
