The idea is to be able to identify a build in a unique way, so for
instance after a bug report we can recognize that the build is the one
of a popular Linux distribution and perform the debugging in the same
environment.

1) We no longer test location by location, otherwise the CPU write cache
completely makes our business useless.
2) We still need a memory test that operates in steps from the first to
the last location in order to never hit the cache, but that is still
able to retain the memory content.
This was tested using a Linux box containing a bad memory module with a
zingle bit error (always zero).
So the final solution does has an error propagation step that is:
1) Invert bits at every location.
2) Swap adiacent locations.
3) Swap adiacent locations again.
4) Invert bits at every location.
5) Swap adiacent locations.
6) Swap adiacent locations again.
Before and after these steps, and after step 4, a CRC64 checksum is computed.
If the three CRC64 checksums don't match, a memory error was detected.

EVALSHA used to crash if the SHA1 was not lowercase (Issue #783).
Fixed using a case insensitive dictionary type for the sha -> script
map used for replication of scripts.

After the transcation starts with a MULIT, the previous behavior was to
return an error on problems such as maxmemory limit reached. But still
to execute the transaction with the subset of queued commands on EXEC.
While it is true that the client was able to check for errors
distinguish QUEUED by an error reply, MULTI/EXEC in most client
implementations uses pipelining for speed, so all the commands and EXEC
are sent without caring about replies.
With this change:
1) EXEC fails if at least one command was not queued because of an
error. The EXECABORT error is used.
2) A generic error is always reported on EXEC.
3) The client DISCARDs the MULTI state after a failed EXEC, otherwise
pipelining multiple transactions would be basically impossible:
After a failed EXEC the next transaction would be simply queued as
the tail of the previous transaction.

We use this new bio.c feature in order to stop our I/O threads if there
is a memory test to do on crash. In this case we don't want anything
else than the main thread to run, otherwise the other threads may mess
with the heap and the memory test will report a false positive.

Finally Redis is able to report the amount of memory used by
copy-on-write while saving an RDB or writing an AOF file in background.
Note that this information is currently only logged (at NOTICE level)
and not shown in INFO because this is less trivial (but surely doable
with some minor form of interprocess communication).
The reason we can't capture this information on the parent before we
call wait3() is that the Linux kernel will release the child memory
ASAP, and only retain the minimal state for the process that is useful
to report the child termination to the parent.
The COW size is obtained by summing all the Private_Dirty fields found
in the "smap" file inside the proc filesystem for the process.
All this is Linux specific and is not available on other systems.
