Make INFO command variadic (#6891)
This is an enhancement for INFO command, previously INFO only support one argument
for different info section , if user want to get more categories information, either perform
INFO all / default or calling INFO for multiple times.

**Description of the feature**

The goal of adding this feature is to let the user retrieve multiple categories via the INFO
command, and still avoid emitting the same section twice.

A use case for this is like Redis Sentinel, which periodically calling INFO command to refresh
info from monitored Master/Slaves, only Server and Replication part categories are used for
parsing information. If the INFO command can return just enough categories that client side
needs, it can save a lot of time for client side parsing it as well as network bandwidth.

**Implementation**
To share code between redis, sentinel, and other users of INFO (DEBUG and modules),
we have a new `genInfoSectionDict` function that returns a dict and some boolean flags
(e.g. `all`) to the caller (built from user input).
Sentinel is later purging unwanted sections from that, and then it is forwarded to the info `genRedisInfoString`.

**Usage Examples**
INFO Server Replication   
INFO CPU Memory
INFO default commandstats

Redis Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.

The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.

There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:

Option Impact
--singledb Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported.
--ignore-encoding Skip all checks for specific encoding.
--ignore-digest Skip key value digest validations.
--cluster-mode Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode.
--large-memory Enables tests that consume more than 100mb

Tags

Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.

Tags can be applied in different context levels:

  • start_server context
  • tags context that bundles several tests together
  • A single test context.

The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:

Tag Indicates
external:skip Not compatible with external servers.
cluster:skip Not compatible with --cluster-mode.
large-memory Test that requires more than 100mb
tls:skip Not campatible with --tls.
needs:repl Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server.
needs:debug Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT).
needs:pfdebug Uses the PFDEBUG command.
needs:config-maxmemory Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc.
needs:config-resetstat Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics.
needs:reset Uses RESET to reset client connections.
needs:save Uses SAVE to create an RDB file.

When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the external:skip tags is done automatically.

When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done automatically.

When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done automatically.

In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:

./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
