This PR add `assert_refcount_morethan`, and modify `assert_refcount` to skip
the `OBJECT REFCOUNT` check with `needs:debug` flag. Use them to modify all
`OBJECT REFCOUNT` calls and also update the tests/README to be more specific.
The reasoning is that some of these tests could be testing something important,
and along the way also add a check for the refcount, and it could be a shame to skip
the whole test just because the refcount functionality is missing or blocked.
but much like the fact that some redis variants may not support DEBUG,
and still we want to run the majority of the test for coverage, and just skip the digest match.
Redis lists are stored in quicklist, which is currently a linked list of ziplists.
Ziplists are limited to storing elements no larger than 4GB, so when bigger
items are added they're getting truncated.
This PR changes quicklists so that they're capable of storing large items
in quicklist nodes that are plain string buffers rather than ziplist.
As part of the PR there were few other changes in redis:
1. new DEBUG sub-commands:
- QUICKLIST-PACKED-THRESHOLD - set the threshold of for the node type to
be plan or ziplist. default (1GB)
- QUICKLIST <key> - Shows low level info about the quicklist encoding of <key>
2. rdb format change:
- A new type was added - RDB_TYPE_LIST_QUICKLIST_2 .
- container type (packed / plain) was added to the beginning of the rdb object
(before the actual node list).
3. testing:
- Tests that requires over 100MB will be by default skipped. a new flag was
added to 'runtest' to run the large memory tests (not used by default)

Fixing CI test issues introduced in #8687
- valgrind warnings in readQueryFromClient when client was freed by processInputBuffer
- adding DEBUG pause-cron for tests not to be time dependent.
- skipping a test that depends on socket buffers / events not compatible with TLS
- making sure client got subscribed by not using deferring client
This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
