We're already using bg_unlink in several places to delete the rdb file in the background,
and avoid paying the cost of the deletion from our main thread.
This commit uses bg_unlink to remove the temporary rdb file in the background too.
However, in case we delete that rdb file just before exiting, we don't actually wait for the
background thread or the main thread to delete it, and just let the OS clean up after us.
i.e. we open the file, unlink it and exit with the fd still open.
Furthermore, rdbRemoveTempFile can be called from a thread and was using snprintf which is
not async-signal-safe, we now use ll2string instead.

Reloading of the RDB generated by
DEBUG POPULATE 5000000
SAVE
is now 25% faster.
This commit also prepares the ability to have more flexibility when
loading stuff from the RDB, since we no longer use dbAdd() but can
control exactly how things are added in the database.
* replication hooks: role change, master link status, replica online/offline
* persistence hooks: saving, loading, loading progress
* misc hooks: cron loop, shutdown, module loaded/unloaded
* change the way hooks test work, and add tests for all of the above
startLoading() now gets flag indicating what is loaded.
stopLoading() now gets an indication of success or failure.
adding startSaving() and stopSaving() with similar args and role.
now that replica can read rdb directly from the socket, it should avoid exiting
on short read and instead try to re-sync.
this commit tries to have minimal effects on non-diskless rdb reading.
and includes a test that tries to trigger this scenario on various read cases.
due to incorrect forward declaration, it didn't provide all arguments.
this lead to random value being read from the stack and return of incorrect time,
which in this case doesn't matter since no one uses it.
The AOF tail of a combined RDB+AOF is based on the premise of applying
the AOF commands to the exact state that there was in the server while
the RDB was persisted. By expiring keys while loading the RDB file, we
change the state, so applying the AOF tail later may change the state.
Test case:
* Time1: SET a 10
* Time2: EXPIREAT a $time5
* Time3: INCR a
* Time4: PERSIT A. Start bgrewiteaof with RDB preamble. The value of a is 11 without expire time.
* Time5: Restart redis from the RDB+AOF: consistency violation.

This is a big win for caching use cases, since on reloading Redis will
still have some idea about what is worth to evict and what not.
However this only solves part of the problem because the information is
only partially propagated to slaves (on write operations). Reads will
not affect slaves LFU and LRU counters, so after a failover the eviction
decisions are kinda random until keys start to collect some aging/freq info.
However since new slaves are initially populated via RDB file transfer,
this means that if we spin up a new slave from a master, and perform an
immediate manual failover (for instance in order to upgrade the master),
the slave will have eviction informations to use for some time.
The LFU/LRU info is persisted only if the maxmemory policy is set to one
of the relevant type, even if no actual "maxmemory" memory limit is
set.
- protocol parsing (processMultibulkBuffer) was limitted to 32big positions in the buffer
readQueryFromClient potential overflow
- rioWriteBulkCount used int, although rioWriteBulkString gave it size_t
- several places in sds.c that used int for string length or index.
- bugfix in RM_SaveAuxField (return was 1 or -1 and not length)
- RM_SaveStringBuffer was limitted to 32bit length
This commit attempts to fix a number of bugs reported in #4316.
They are related to the way replication info like replication ID,
offsets, and currently selected DB in the master client, are stored
and loaded by Redis. In order to avoid inconsistencies the changes in
this commit try to enforce that:
1. Replication information are only stored when the RDB file is
generated by a slave that has a valid 'master' client, so that we can
always extract the currently selected DB.
2. When replication informations are persisted in the RDB file, all the
info for a successful PSYNC or nothing is persisted.
3. The RDB replication informations are only loaded if the instance is
configured as a slave, otherwise a master can start with IDs that relate
to a different history of the data set, and stil retain such IDs in the
future while receiving unrelated writes.
The original RDB serialization format was not parsable without the
module loaded, becuase the structure was managed only by the module
itself. Moreover RDB is a streaming protocol in the sense that it is
both produce di an append-only fashion, and is also sometimes directly
sent to the socket (in the case of diskless replication).
The fact that modules values cannot be parsed without the relevant
module loaded is a problem in many ways: RDB checking tools must have
loaded modules even for doing things not involving the value at all,
like splitting an RDB into N RDBs by key or alike, or just checking the
RDB for sanity.
In theory module values could be just a blob of data with a prefixed
length in order for us to be able to skip it. However prefixing the values
with a length would mean one of the following:
1. To be able to write some data at a previous offset. This breaks
stremaing.
2. To bufferize values before outputting them. This breaks performances.
3. To have some chunked RDB output format. This breaks simplicity.
Moreover, the above solution, still makes module values a totally opaque
matter, with the fowllowing problems:
1. The RDB check tool can just skip the value without being able to at
least check the general structure. For datasets composed mostly of
modules values this means to just check the outer level of the RDB not
actually doing any checko on most of the data itself.
2. It is not possible to do any recovering or processing of data for which a
module no longer exists in the future, or is unknown.
So this commit implements a different solution. The modules RDB
serialization API is composed if well defined calls to store integers,
floats, doubles or strings. After this commit, the parts generated by
the module API have a one-byte prefix for each of the above emitted
parts, and there is a final EOF byte as well. So even if we don't know
exactly how to interpret a module value, we can always parse it at an
high level, check the overall structure, understand the types used to
store the information, and easily skip the whole value.
The change is backward compatible: older RDB files can be still loaded
since the new encoding has a new RDB type: MODULE_2 (of value 7).
The commit also implements the ability to check RDB files for sanity
taking advantage of the new feature.
The gist of the changes is that now, partial resynchronizations between
slaves and masters (without the need of a full resync with RDB transfer
and so forth), work in a number of cases when it was impossible
in the past. For instance:
1. When a slave is promoted to mastrer, the slaves of the old master can
partially resynchronize with the new master.
2. Chained slalves (slaves of slaves) can be moved to replicate to other
slaves or the master itsef, without requiring a full resync.
3. The master itself, after being turned into a slave, is able to
partially resynchronize with the new master, when it joins replication
again.
In order to obtain this, the following main changes were operated:
* Slaves also take a replication backlog, not just masters.
* Same stream replication for all the slaves and sub slaves. The
replication stream is identical from the top level master to its slaves
and is also the same from the slaves to their sub-slaves and so forth.
This means that if a slave is later promoted to master, it has the
same replication backlong, and can partially resynchronize with its
slaves (that were previously slaves of the old master).
* A given replication history is no longer identified by the `runid` of
a Redis node. There is instead a `replication ID` which changes every
time the instance has a new history no longer coherent with the past
one. So, for example, slaves publish the same replication history of
their master, however when they are turned into masters, they publish
a new replication ID, but still remember the old ID, so that they are
able to partially resynchronize with slaves of the old master (up to a
given offset).
* The replication protocol was slightly modified so that a new extended
+CONTINUE reply from the master is able to inform the slave of a
replication ID change.
* REPLCONF CAPA is used in order to notify masters that a slave is able
to understand the new +CONTINUE reply.
* The RDB file was extended with an auxiliary field that is able to
select a given DB after loading in the slave, so that the slave can
continue receiving the replication stream from the point it was
disconnected without requiring the master to insert "SELECT" statements.
This is useful in order to guarantee the "same stream" property, because
the slave must be able to accumulate an identical backlog.
* Slave pings to sub-slaves are now sent in a special form, when the
top-level master is disconnected, in order to don't interfer with the
replication stream. We just use out of band "\n" bytes as in other parts
of the Redis protocol.
An old design document is available here:

However the implementation is not identical to the description because
during the work to implement it, different changes were needed in order
to make things working well.
