Clients should identify themselves on connect

[chayim]

CLIENT SETINFO is a new fire-and-forget command that is available as part of redis 7.2. Clients should send the lowercased version of the client name (i.e redis-py, jedis, go-redis) as part of the initial connect, after authenticating to the server.

Would like to work on this @chayim

Hi @chayim,

Should clients always send their own name to the server or should clients let users decide what value to send?

[chayim]

@rueian Clients should send their own name and their current version - notice the arguments. There will, of course be versions of redis (prior to 7.2) that don't support this. So, the general idea is to send always, and fail silently when not supported by the redis server.

I'm a fan of fire and forget, versus check version then fire.
