Ref: issue #2175

The previous implementation of SCAN parsed the cursor in the generic
function implementing SCAN, SSCAN, HSCAN and ZSCAN.

The actual higher-level command implementation only checked for empty
keys and return ASAP in that case. The result was that inverting the
arguments of, for instance, SSCAN for example and write:

    SSCAN 0 key

Instead of

    SSCAN key 0

Resulted into no error, since 0 is a non-existing key name very likely.
Just the iterator returned no elements at all.

In order to fix this issue the code was refactored to extract the
function to parse the cursor and return the error. Every higher level
command implementation now parses the cursor and later checks if the key
exist or not.

Thanks to @badboy for reporting.

Previously two string encodings were used for string objects:

1) REDIS_ENCODING_RAW: a string object with obj->ptr pointing to an sds
stirng.

2) REDIS_ENCODING_INT: a string object where the obj->ptr void pointer
is casted to a long.

This commit introduces a experimental new encoding called
REDIS_ENCODING_EMBSTR that implements an object represented by an sds
string that is not modifiable but allocated in the same memory chunk as
the robj structure itself.

The chunk looks like the following:

+--------------+-----------+------------+--------+----+
| robj data... | robj->ptr | sds header | string | \0 |
+--------------+-----+-----+------------+--------+----+
                     |                       ^
                     +-----------------------+

The robj->ptr points to the contiguous sds string data, so the object
can be manipulated with the same functions used to manipulate plan
string objects, however we need just on malloc and one free in order to
allocate or release this kind of objects. Moreover it has better cache
locality.

This new allocation strategy should benefit both the memory usage and
the performances. A performance gain between 60 and 70% was observed
during micro-benchmarks, however there is more work to do to evaluate
the performance impact and the memory usage behavior.

When keyspace events are enabled, the overhead is not sever but
noticeable, so this commit introduces the ability to select subclasses
of events in order to avoid to generate events the user is not
interested in.

The events can be selected using redis.conf or CONFIG SET / GET.

The ziplist -> hashtable conversion code is triggered every time an hash
value must be promoted to a full hash table because the number or size of
elements reached the threshold.

If a problem in the ziplist causes the same field to be present
multiple times, the assertion of successful addition of the element
inside the hash table will fail, crashing server with a failed
assertion, but providing little information about the problem.

This code adds a new logging function to perform the hex dump of binary
data, and makes sure that the ziplist -> hashtable conversion code uses
this new logging facility to dump the content of the ziplist when the
assertion fails.

This change was originally made in order to investigate issue #547.

Minor code aesthetic change to use Redis code base style rule of saving vertical space when possible.

To improve the performance of the ziplist implementation, some
functions have been converted to macros to avoid unnecessary stack
movement and duplicate variable assignments.

touched key for WATCH refactored into a more general thing that can be used also for the cache system. Some more changes towards diskstore working.

HGET HMGET are now COW friendly, plus API refactoring and changes needed for the new implementation.
