issue 182: provide docx file content as github markdown for easier reading for those without a .docx file viewer.

 Using QueryPerformancecounter to measure latency in redis-benchmark.exe

 Redis-benchmark on windows seems to be not able to calculate the time granularity in micro seconds.
     Came across this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn553408(v=vs.85).aspx and updated the benchmark for latency measurements accordingly.

     Windows:
     Following is output from windows for micro seconds taken for each request. Where for any request taking less than 1 ms is being calculated as 0
     redis-benchmark.exe -h <azurerediscache> -a pwd -c 1 -d 1024 -t get -n 10
     0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

     Linux:
     src/redis-benchmark -h <azurerediscache> -a pwd -c 1 -d 1024 -t get -n 10
     792,800,808,820,837,845,888,891,971,2498

     After the change on windows now it shows following:
     796,809,887,890,893,943,944,974

I found a case where the temp-rewriteaof-old-xxxx.aof files were not being deleted. Added the _O_TEMPORARY flag to the open() call to guarantee that the underlying CreateFile call is being called with the FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE.

Restoring the ability to compile without IOCP. To do so remove the WIN32_IOCP definition in the C/C++\Preporcessor\Preprocessor Definitions in all projects. Performance is 30-40% better with IOCP.

Added a project to take current redis version number in src\version.h and propagate this number into the release documentation and the name of the release zip file. This replaces the powershell script used previously to build the binary release package zip.

Fixed in Redis by 1a5e5b6b, but since that part of code
is largely copy/paste from Redis, the fix needs to be
ported over too.

Closes #2012

Now there are tests to write more data after loading a truncated AOF,
testing that the loaded data is correct, appending more, and testing
again.

It is not clear if files open in append only mode will automatically fix
their offset after a truncate(2) operation. This commit makes sure that
we reposition the AOF file descriptor offset at the end of the file
after a truncated AOF is loaded and trimmed to the last valid command.

Recently we introduced the ability to load truncated AOFs, but
unfortuantely the support was broken since the server, after loading the
truncated AOF, continues appending to the file that is corrupted at the
end. The problem is fixed only in the next AOF rewrite.

This commit fixes the issue by truncating the AOF to the last valid
opcode, and aborting if it is not possible to truncate the file
correctly.

This is a general fix (check that dirty delta is positive) but actually
should have as the only effect fixing the SAVE propagation to
AOF and slaves.

The code to check the number of voters was never updated to follow the new
Sentinel specification, so the number of voters was computed using only
the set of Sentinels that provided a vote.

This means that there is a changing majority on partitions, even if
usually the issue is not triggered because of the configured quorum
check (what was broken was the other implicit check that requires anyway
half of the known sentinels to agree in order to start a failover).

As discussed in issue #1945.

*SCAN will cause redis server to hang for seconds
after millions of keys was deleted by SCAN/DEL pairs

The original implementation was modified in order to allow to
selectively announce a different IP or port, and to rewrite the two
options in the config file after a rewrite.

There are instances such as EC2 where the bind address is private
(behind a NAT) and cannot be accessible from WAN.

issue 166: master/slave sync with RDB > 2G.  cause: off_t defined as long. longs are 4-bytes on x64 Windows. Redefined impacted vars as int64_t.

When aof-load-truncated option was introduced, with a default of "yes",
the past behavior of the server to abort with trunncated AOF changed, so
we need to explicitly configure the tests to abort with truncated AOF
by setting the option to no.

Because of the new ability to start with a truncated AOF, we need
to correctly release all the memory on EOF error. Otherwise there is a
small leak, that is not really a problem, but causes a false positive in
the tests that detect memory leaks.
