this test which has coverage for varoius flows of diskless master was
failing randomly from time to time.
the failure was:
[err]: diskless all replicas drop during rdb pipe in tests/integration/replication.tcl
log message of '*Diskless rdb transfer, last replica dropped, killing fork child*' not found
what seemed to have happened is that the master didn't detect that all
replicas dropped by the time the replication ended, it thought that one
replica is still connected.
now the test takes a few seconds longer but it seems stable.
We want to send pings and pongs at specific intervals, since our packets
also contain information about the configuration of the cluster and are
used for gossip. However since our cluster bus is used in a mixed way
for data (such as Pub/Sub or modules cluster messages) and metadata,
sometimes a very busy channel may delay the reception of pong packets.
So after discussing it in #7216, this commit introduces a new field that
is not exposed in the cluster, is only an internal information about
the last time we received any data from a given node: we use this field
in order to avoid detecting failures, claiming data reception of new
data from the node is a proof of liveness.
This works because this struct is never referenced by its name,
but always by its type.
This prevents a conflict with struct user from <sys/user.h>
when compiling against uclibc.

When deffered reply is added the previous reply node cannot be used so
all the extra space we allocated in it is wasted. in case someone uses
deffered replies in a loop, each time adding a small reply, each of
these reply nodes (the small string reply) would have consumed a 16k
block.
now when we add anther diferred reply node, we trim the unused portion
of the previous reply block.
see #7123
cherry picked from commit fb732f7a944a4d4c90bb7375cb6030e88211f5aa
with fix to handle a crash with LIBC allocator, which apparently can
return the same pointer despite changing it's size.
i.e. shrinking an allocation of 16k into 56 bytes without changing the
pointer.
* fix memlry leaks with diskless replica short read.
* fix a few timing issues with valgrind runs
* fix issue with valgrind and watchdog schedule signal
about the valgrind WD issue:
the stack trace test in logging.tcl, has issues with valgrind:
==28808== Can't extend stack to 0x1ffeffdb38 during signal delivery for thread 1:
==28808== too small or bad protection modes
it seems to be some valgrind bug with SA_ONSTACK.
SA_ONSTACK seems unneeded since WD is not recursive (SA_NODEFER was removed),
also, not sure if it's even valid without a call to sigaltstack()
