Thanks to this change, when there is some code like:
clusterDoBeforeSleep(CLUSTER_TODO_UPDATE_STATE|...);
... and later before returning to the event loop ...
clusterUpdateState();
The clusterUpdateState() function will clar the flag and will not be
repeated in the clusterBeforeSleep() function. This especially important
for config save/fsync flags which are slow to execute and not a good
idea to repeat without a good reason.
This is implemented for all the CLUSTER_TODO flags.

The new command is able to reset a cluster node so that it starts again
as a fresh node. By default the command performs a soft reset (the same
as calling it as CLUSTER RESET SOFT), and the following steps are
performed:
1) All slots are set as unassigned.
2) The list of known nodes is flushed.
3) Node is set as master if it is a slave.
When an hard reset is performed with CLUSTER RESET HARD the following
additional operations are performed:
4) A new Node ID is created at random.
5) Epochs are set to 0.
CLUSTER RESET is useful both when the sysadmin wants to reconfigure a
node with a different role (for example turning a slave into a master)
and for testing purposes.
It also may play a role in automatically provisioned Redis Clusters,
since it allows to reset a node back to the initial state in order to be
reconfigured.

The previous code handling a lost slot (by another master with an higher
configuration for the slot) was defensive, considering it an error and
putting the cluster in an odd state requiring redis-cli fix.
This was changed, because actually this only happens either in a
legitimate way, with failovers, or when the admin messed with the config
in order to reconfigure the cluster. So the new code instead will try to
make sure that the keys stored match the new slots map, by removing all
the keys in the slots we lost ownership from.
The function that deletes the keys from the lost slots is called only
if the node does not lose all its slots (resulting in a reconfiguration
as a slave of the node that got ownership). This is an optimization
since the replication code will anyway flush all the instance data in
a faster way.

Using CLUSTER FAILOVER FORCE it is now possible to failover a master in
a forced way, which means:
1) No check to understand if the master is up is performed.
2) No data age of the slave is checked. Evan a slave with very old data
can manually failover a master in this way.
3) No chat with the master is attempted to reach its replication offset:
the master can just be down.

Automatic failovers only happen in Redis Cluster if the slave trying to
be elected was disconnected from its master for no more than 10 times
the node-timeout value. However there should be no such a check for
manual failovers, since these are initiated by the sysadmin that, in
theory, knows what she is doing when a slave is selected to be promoted.

Will be configurable / adaptive at some point but let's start with a
saner value compared to 1 sec which is not a good idea for big data
structures stored into a single key.

The error when the target key is busy was a generic one, while it makes
sense to be able to distinguish between the target key busy error and
the others easily.

The same change was operated for normal client connections. This is
important for Cluster as well, since when a node rejoins the cluster,
when a partition heals or after a restart, it gets flooded with new
connection attempts by all the other nodes trying to form a full
mesh again.

When a Sentinel performs a failover (successful or not), or when a
Sentinel votes for a different Sentinel trying to start a failover, it
sets a min delay before it will try to get elected for a failover.
While not strictly needed, because if multiple Sentinels will try
to failover the same master at the same time, only one configuration
will eventually win, this serialization is practically very useful.
Normal failovers are cleaner: one Sentinel starts to failover, the
others update their config when the Sentinel performing the failover
is able to get the selected slave to move from the role of slave to the
one of master.
However currently this timeout was implicit, so users could see
Sentinels not reacting, after a failed failover, for some time, without
giving any feedback in the logs to the poor sysadmin waiting for clues.
This commit makes Sentinels more verbose about the delay: when a master
is down and a failover attempt is not performed because the delay has
still not elaped, something like that will be logged:
Next failover delay: I will not start a failover
before Thu May 8 16:48:59 2014
