Given that the code was written with a 2 years pause... something
strange happened in the middle. So there was no function to free a
lex range min/max objects, and in some places the range was passed by
value.

Like ZCOUNT for lexicographical ranges.

Converts HyperLogLogs from sparse to dense. Used for testing.

After running a few benchmarks, 3000 looks like a reasonable value to
keep HLLs with a few thousand elements small while the CPU cost is
still not huge.

This covers all the cases where the dense representation would use N
orders of magnitude more space, like in the case of many HLLs with
carinality of a few tens or hundreds.

It is not impossible that in the future this gets user configurable,
however it is easy to pick an unreasoable value just looking at savings
in the space dimension without checking what happens in the time
dimension.

It is safer since it is able to have side effects.

Even if it is a debugging command, make sure that when it forces a
change in encoding, the command is propagated.

If we converted to dense, a register must be updated in the dense
representation.

Mostly by reordering opcodes check conditional by frequency of opcodes
in larger sparse-encoded HLLs.

Bottleneck found profiling. Big run time improvement found when testing
after the change.

As more values are added splitting ZERO or XZERO opcodes, try to merge
adjacent VAL opcodes if they have the same value.

Now the macros will work with arguments such as "ptr+1".

Bulk length for registers was emitted too early, so if there was a bug
the reply looked like a long array with just one element, blocking the
client as result.

We want to promote if the total string size exceeds the resulting size
after the upgrade.

The function checks if all the HLL_REGISTERS were processed during the
convertion from sparse to dense encoding, returning REDIS_OK or
REDIS_ERR to signal a corruption problem.

A bug in PFDEBUG GETREG was fixed: when the object is converted to the
dense representation we need to reassign the new pointer to the header
structure pointer.

Provides a human readable description of the opcodes composing a
run-length encoded HLL (sparse encoding).
The command is only useful for debugging / development tasks.

PFDEBUG will be the interface to do debugging tasks with a key
containing an HLL object.

The new API takes directly the object doing everything needed to
turn it into a dense representation, including setting the new
representation as object->ptr.

sdsIncrLen() must be called anyway even if we are replacing the last
oppcode of the sparse representation.

Two vars initialized to wrong values in createHLLObject().
