Adding auth to redis-benchmark

-a <password>      Password for Redis Auth

src/redis-benchmark -t set -n 1000000 -r 100000000 -a redis

I might think some people want this kind of functionality.

👍

There's def interest in this: #679 #244

Edit: @charsyam Tested and worked for me, thanks!

The original patch here doesn't apply cleanly anymore (even the logic in redis-benchmark has changed since then, so not all of the original changes are needed).

I cleaned up the broken merge and committed it at mattsta@eec73e7 — so use that patch if you want to apply auth functionality to a 2.8+ redis-benchmark. It works for me.

The fix is included in #1906, so hopefully it'll get Officially Merged soon.
