/*
This code implements the following new command line arguments for redis:

--service-install [additional command line arguments to pass to redis when launched as a service]

This must be the first argument on the redis-server command line. Arguments after this are passed in the order they occur to redis when the
service is launched. The service will be configured as Autostart and will be launched as "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". Upon successful
installation a success message will be displayed and redis will exit. For instance:

redis-server --service-install redis.conf --loglevel verbose

This command does not start the service.

--service-uninstall

This will remove the redis service configuration information from the registry. Upon successful uninstallation a success message will be
displayed and redis will exit.

This does command not stop the service.

--service-start

This will start the redis service. Upon successful startup a success message will be displayed and redis will exit.

--service-stop

This will stop the redis service. Upon successful termination a success message will be displayed and redis will exit.

The [--service-name name] arguments, modifies the preceding commands to target a specific service name. If present, 
this should preceed the other arguments passed to redis. For instance:

    redis-server --service-install --service-name testServiceName redis.windows.conf --loglevel verbose
