The new bitfield command is an extension to the Redis bit operations,
where not just single bit operations are performed, but the array of
bits composing a string, can be addressed at random, not aligned
offsets, with any width unsigned and signed integers like u8, s5, u10
(up to 64 bit signed integers and 63 bit unsigned integers).
The BITFIELD command supports subcommands that can SET, GET, or INCRBY
those arbitrary bit counters, with multiple overflow semantics.
Trivial and credits:
A similar command was imagined a few times in the past, but for
some reason looked a bit far fetched or not well specified.
Finally the command was proposed again in a clear form by
Yoav Steinberg from Redis Labs, that proposed a set of commands on
arbitrary sized integers stored at bit offsets.
Starting from this proposal I wrote an initial specification of a single
command with sub-commands similar to what Yoav envisioned, using short
names for types definitions, and adding control on the overflow.
This commit is the resulting implementation.
Examples:
BITFIELD mykey OVERFLOW wrap INCRBY i2 10 -1 GET i2 10

CLUSTER SLOTS now includes IDs in the nodes description associated with
a given slot range. Certain client libraries implementations need a way
to reference a node in an unique way, so they were relying on CLUSTER
NODES, that is not a stable API and may change frequently depending on
Redis Cluster future requirements.
