The implementation expose the following new functions:
1. RedisModule_CursorCreate - allow to create a new cursor object for
keys scanning
2. RedisModule_CursorRestart - restart an existing cursor to restart the
scan
3. RedisModule_CursorDestroy - destroy an existing cursor
4. RedisModule_Scan - scan keys
The RedisModule_Scan function gets a cursor object, a callback and void*
(used as user private data).
The callback will be called for each key in the database proving the key
name and the value as RedisModuleKey.
One problem with the solution proposed so far in #6537 is that key
lookups outside a command execution via call(), still used a cached
time. The cached time needed to be refreshed in multiple places,
especially because of modules callbacks from timers, cluster bus, and
thread safe contexts, that may use RM_Open().
In order to avoid this problem, this commit introduces the ability to
detect if we are inside call(): this way we can use the reference fixed
time only when we are in the context of a command execution or Lua
script, but for the asynchronous lookups, we can still use mstime() to
get a fresh time reference.
After the thread in #6537 and thanks to the suggestions received, this
commit updates the original patch in order to:
1. Solve the problem of updating the time in multiple places by updating
it in call().
2. Avoid introducing a new field but use our cached time.
This required some minor refactoring to the function updating the time,
and the introduction of a new cached time in microseconds in order to
use less gettimeofday() calls.
Calling lookupKey*() many times to search a key in one command
may get different result.
That's because lookupKey*() calls expireIfNeeded(), and delete
the key when reach the expire time. So we can get an robj before
the expire time, but a NULL after the expire time.
The worst is that may lead to Redis crash, for example
`RPOPLPUSH foo foo` the first time we get a list form `foo` and
hold the pointer, but when we get `foo` again it's expired and
deleted. Now we hold a freed memory, when execute rpoplpushHandlePush()
redis crash.
To fix it, we can refactor the judgment about whether a key is expired,
using the same basetime `server.cmd_start_mstime` instead of calling
mstime() everytime.
looks like each platform implements long double differently (different bit count)
so we can't save them as binary, and we also want to avoid creating a new RDB
format version, so we save these are hex strings using "%La".
This commit includes a change in the arguments of ld2string to support this.
as well as tests for coverage and short reads.

See #6525, this likely creates a NULL deference if the client was
terminated by Redis between the creation of the blocked client and the
creation of the thread safe context.
Using the is_key_ready() callback plus the reply callback later, creates
different issues AFAIK:
1. More complex API.
2. We need to call the reply callback() ASAP if the is_key_ready()
interface returned success, however the internals do not work in that
way, so when the reply callback is called the setup could be different.
To fix that, there is to break the current design that handles the
unblocked clients asyncrhonously, and run the list ASAP.
* replication hooks: role change, master link status, replica online/offline
* persistence hooks: saving, loading, loading progress
* misc hooks: cron loop, shutdown, module loaded/unloaded
* change the way hooks test work, and add tests for all of the above
startLoading() now gets flag indicating what is loaded.
stopLoading() now gets an indication of success or failure.
adding startSaving() and stopSaving() with similar args and role.
Some commands would want to open a key without touching it's LRU/LFU
similarly to the OBJECT or DEBUG command do.
Other commands may want to implement logic similar to what RESTORE
does (and in the future MIGRATE) and get/set the LRU or LFU.
Adding a test for coverage for RM_Call in a new "misc" unit
to be used for various short simple tests
also solves compilation warnings in redismodule.h and fork.c
