Multiparam config set (#9748)
We can now do: `config set maxmemory 10m repl-backlog-size 5m`

## Basic algorithm to support "transaction like" config sets:

1. Backup all relevant current values (via get).
2. Run "verify" and "set" on everything, if we fail run "restore".
3. Run "apply" on everything (optional optimization: skip functions already run). If we fail run "restore".
4. Return success.

### restore
1. Run set on everything in backup. If we fail log it and continue (this puts us in an undefined
   state but we decided it's better than the alternative of panicking). This indicates either a bug
   or some unsupported external state.
2. Run apply on everything in backup (optimization: skip functions already run). If we fail log
   it (see comment above).
3. Return error.

## Implementation/design changes:
* Apply function are idempotent (have no effect if they are run more than once for the same config).
* No indication in set functions if we're reading the config or running from the `CONFIG SET` command
   (removed `update` argument).
* Set function should set some config variable and assume an (optional) apply function will use that
   later to apply. If we know this setting can be safely applied immediately and can always be reverted
   and doesn't depend on any other configuration we can apply immediately from within the set function
   (and not store the setting anywhere). This is the case of this `dir` config, for example, which has no
   apply function. No apply function is need also in the case that setting the variable in the `server` struct
   is all that needs to be done to make the configuration take effect. Note that the original concept of `update_fn`,
   which received the old and new values was removed and replaced by the optional apply function.
* Apply functions use settings written to the `server` struct and don't receive any inputs.
* I take care that for the generic (non-special) configs if there's no change I avoid calling the setter (possible
   optimization: avoid calling the apply function as well).
* Passing the same config parameter more than once to `config set` will fail. You can't do `config set my-setting
   value1 my-setting value2`.

Note that getting `save` in the context of the conf file parsing to work here as before was a pain.
The conf file supports an aggregate `save` definition, where each `save` line is added to the server's
save params. This is unlike any other line in the config file where each line overwrites any previous
configuration. Since we now support passing multiple save params in a single line (see top comments
about `save` in https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/9644) we should deprecate the aggregate nature of
this config line and perhaps reduce this ugly code in the future.

Redis Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.

The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.

There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:

Option Impact
--singledb Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported.
--ignore-encoding Skip all checks for specific encoding.
--ignore-digest Skip key value digest validations.
--cluster-mode Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode.
--large-memory Enables tests that consume more than 100mb

Tags

Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.

Tags can be applied in different context levels:

  • start_server context
  • tags context that bundles several tests together
  • A single test context.

The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:

Tag Indicates
external:skip Not compatible with external servers.
cluster:skip Not compatible with --cluster-mode.
large-memory Test that requires more than 100mb
tls:skip Not campatible with --tls.
needs:repl Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server.
needs:debug Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT).
needs:pfdebug Uses the PFDEBUG command.
needs:config-maxmemory Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc.
needs:config-resetstat Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics.
needs:reset Uses RESET to reset client connections.
needs:save Uses SAVE to create an RDB file.

When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the external:skip tags is done automatically.

When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done automatically.

When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done automatically.

In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:

./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
