The SHUTDOWN command needs to be updated to support SAVE and NOSAVE

danielealbano added a commit that referenced this issue Apr 9, 2023
This PR implements the necessary support to generate the RDB snapshots
in the background.

A new fiber has been introduced which takes care of generating a
snapshot, depending on the settings. A new set of parameters have been
introduced, example below with explanation in line.

```
  snapshots:
    # The path where the snapshot file will be stored, if the rotation is enabled, the path will be used as prefix and
    # the timestamp of the start of the snapshot will be appended to the file name.
    path: /var/lib/cachegrand/dump.rdb
    # The interval between the snapshots, the allowed units are s, m, h, if not specified the default is seconds.
    interval: 5m
    # The number of keys that must be changed before a snapshot is taken, 0 means no limit
    min_keys_changed: 1000
    # The amount of data that must be changed before a snapshot is taken, the allowed units are b, k, m, g, if not
    min_data_changed: 100mb
    # Rotation settings, optional, if missing the snapshots rotation will be disabled
    rotation:
      # The max number of snapshots files to keep, minimum 2
      max_files: 10
```

The example is from cachegrand.yaml.skel

The new mechanism takes care of reporting every 3 seconds a status
update.

Closes #293 

Notes:
- Currently the redis commands SAVE and BGSAVE are not implemented, so
it's not possible to trigger a backup on demand (#314)
- The SHUTDOWN command needs to be updated to support SAVE and NOSAVE
(#315)
- The shutdown logic needs to be updated to trigger a dump at the
shutdown unless the SHUTDOWN NOSAVE command has been issued (#316)
- The current implementation also doesn't compress strings with the LZF
algorithm as liblzf is causing segfault and the issue has to be
investigated (#312)
- Tests for the high level snapshotting process (implemented in
storage_db_snapshot.c mostly) are not included in this PR (#317)
