This commit attempts to fix a bug involving PSYNC and diskless
replication (currently experimental) found by Yuval Inbar from Redis Labs
and that was later found to have even more far reaching effects (the bug also
exists when diskstore is off).
The gist of the bug is that, a Redis master replies with +FULLRESYNC to
a PSYNC attempt that fails and requires a full resynchronization.
However, the baseline offset sent along with FULLRESYNC was always the
current master replication offset. This is not ok, because there are
many reasosn that may delay the RDB file creation. And... guess what,
the master offset we communicate must be the one of the time the RDB
was created. So for example:
1) When the BGSAVE for replication is delayed since there is one
already but is not good for replication.
2) When the BGSAVE is not needed as we attach one currently ongoing.
3) When because of diskless replication the BGSAVE is delayed.
In all the above cases the PSYNC reply is wrong and the slave may
reconnect later claiming to need a wrong offset: this may cause
data curruption later.
The previos attempt to process each client at least once every ten
seconds was not a good idea, because:
1. Usually because of the past min iterations set to 50, you get much
better processing period most of the times.
2. However when there are many clients and a normal setting for
server.hz, the edge case is triggered, and waiting 10 seconds for a
BLPOP that asked for 1 second is not ok.
3. Moreover, because of the high min-itereations limit of 50, when HZ
was set to an high value, the actual behavior was to process a lot of
clients per second.
Also the function checking for timeouts called gettimeofday() at each
iteration which can be costly.
The new implementation will try to process each client once per second,
gets the current time as argument, and does not attempt to process more
than 5 clients per iteration if not needed.
So now:
1. The CPU usage of an idle Redis process is the same or better.
2. The CPU usage of a busy Redis process is the same or better.
3. However a non trivial amount of work may be performed per iteration
when there are many many clients. In this particular case the user may
want to raise the "HZ" value if needed.
Btw with 4000 clients it was still not possible to noticy any actual
latency created by processing 400 clients per second, since the work
performed for each client is pretty small.
The new return value is the number of keys existing, among the ones
specified in the command line, counting the same key multiple times if
given multiple times (and if it exists).

We usually want to reach the master using the address of the interface
Redis is bound to (via the "bind" config option). That's useful since
the master will get (and publish) the slave address getting the peer
name of the incoming socket connection from the slave.
However, when this is not possible, for example because the slave is
bound to the loopback interface but repliaces from a master accessed via
an external interface, we want to still connect with the master even
from a different interface: in this case it is not really important that
the master will provide any other address, while it is vital to be able
to replicate correctly.

This performs a best effort source address binding attempt. If it is
possible to bind the local address and still have a successful
connect(), then this socket is returned. Otherwise the call is retried
without source address binding attempt.

Normally ZADD only returns the number of elements added to a sorted
set, using the RETCH option it returns the sum of elements added or
for which the score was updated.
This new command triggers a config flush to save the in-memory config to
disk. This is useful for cases of a configuration management system or a
package manager wiping out your sentinel config while the process is
still running - and has not yet been restarted. It can also be useful
for scripting a backup and migrate or clone of a running sentinel.
Originally, only the +slave event which occurs when a slave is
reconfigured during sentinelResetMasterAndChangeAddress triggers a flush
of the config to disk. However, newly discovered slaves don't
apparently trigger this flush but do trigger the +slave event issuance.
So if you start up a sentinel, add a master, then add a slave to the
master (as a way to reproduce it) you'll see the +slave event issued,
but the sentinel config won't be updated with the known-slave entry.
This change makes sentinel do the flush of the config if a new slave is
deteted in sentinelRefreshInstanceInfo.
To rewrite the config in the loop that adds slaves back after a master
reset, in order to handle switching to another master, is useless: it
just adds latency since there is an fsync call in the inner loop,
without providing any additional guarantee, but the contrary, since if
after the first loop iteration the server crashes we end with just a
single slave entry losing all the other informations.
It is wiser to rewrite the config at the end when the full new
state is configured.
