The new check-for-number behavior of Lua arguments broke
users who use large strings of just integers.
The Lua number check would convert the string to a number, but
that breaks user data because
Lua numbers have limited precision compared to an arbitrarily
precise number wrapped in a string.
Regression fixed and new test added.
Fixes#1118 again.
Behrad Zari discovered [1] and Josiah reported [2]: if you block
and wait for a list to exist, but the list creates from
a non-push command, the blocked client never gets notified.
This commit adds notification of blocked clients into
the DB layer and away from individual commands.
Lists can be created by [LR]PUSH, SORT..STORE, RENAME, MOVE,
and RESTORE. Previously, blocked client notifications were
only triggered by [LR]PUSH. Your client would never get
notified if a list were created by SORT..STORE or RENAME or
a RESTORE, etc.
Blocked client notification now happens in one unified place:
- dbAdd() triggers notification when adding a list to the DB
Two new tests are added that fail prior to this commit.
All test pass.
Fixes#1668

SPOP, tested in the new test, is among the commands rewritng the
client->argv argument vector (it gets rewritten as SREM) for command
replication purposes.
Because of recent optimizations to client->argv caching in the context
of the Lua internal Redis client, it is important to test for SPOP to be
callable from Lua without bad effects to the other commands.
It was verified in practice that this test is able to stress much more
the implementation by introducing errors that were only trivially to
detect with different offsets but impossible to detect starting always
at zero and counting bits the full length of the string.
