The scan key module API provides the scan callback with the current
field name and value (if it exists). Those arguments are RedisModuleString*
which means it supposes to point to robj which is encoded as a string.
Using createStringObjectFromLongLong function might return robj that
points to an integer and so break a module that tries for example to
use RedisModule_StringPtrLen on the given field/value.
The PR introduces a fix that uses the createObject function and sdsfromlonglong function.
Using those function promise that the field and value pass to the to the
scan callback will be Strings.
The PR also changes the Scan test module to use RedisModule_StringPtrLen
to catch the issue. without this, the issue is hidden because
RedisModule_ReplyWithString knows to handle integer encoding of the
given robj (RedisModuleString).
The PR also introduces a new test to verify the issue is solved.
i.e. don't start the search from scratch hitting the used ones again.
this will also reduce the likelihood of collisions (if there are any
left) by increasing the time until we re-use a port we did use in the
past.
apparently when running tests in parallel (the default of --clients 16),
there's a chance for two tests to use the same port.
specifically, one test might shutdown a master and still have the
replica up, and then another test will re-use the port number of master
for another master, and then that replica will connect to the master of
the other test.
this can cause a master to count too many full syncs and fail a test if
we run the tests with --single integration/psync2 --loop --stop

these tests create several edge cases that are otherwise uncovered (at
least not consistently) by the test suite, so although they're no longer
testing what they were meant to test, it's still a good idea to keep
them in hope that they'll expose some issue in the future.
