Previously, the command definition for the OBJECT command specified
a minimum of two args (and that it was variadic), which meant that
if you sent this:
OBJECT foo
When cluster was enabled, it would result in an assertion/SEGFAULT
when Redis was attempting to extract keys.
It appears that OBJECT is not variadic, and only ever takes 3 args.

We now wait up to 1 second for diff data to come from the parent,
however we use poll(2) to wait for more data, and use a counter of
contiguous failures to get data for N times (set to 20 experimentally
after different tests) as an early stop condition to avoid wasting 1
second when the write traffic is too low.
We introduce the distinction between slow and fast commands since those
are two different sources of latency. An O(1) or O(log N) command without
side effects (can't trigger deletion of large objects as a side effect of
its execution) if delayed is a symptom of inherent latency of the system.
A non-fast command (commands that may run large O(N) computations) if
delayed may just mean that the user is executing slow operations.
The advices LATENCY should provide in this two different cases are
different, so we log the two classes of commands in a separated way.
This fixes detection of wrong subcommand (that resulted in the default
all-commands output instead) and allows COMMAND INFO to be called
without arguments (resulting into an empty array) which is useful in
programmtically generated calls like the following (in Ruby):
redis.commands("command","info",*mycommands)
Note: mycommands may be empty.
