Allocate Lua VM code with jemalloc instead of libc, and count it used memory (#13133)
## Background
1. Currently Lua memory control does not pass through Redis's zmalloc.c.
Redis maxmemory cannot limit memory problems caused by users abusing lua
since these lua VM memory is not part of used_memory.

2. Since jemalloc is much better (fragmentation and speed), and also we
know it and trust it. we are
going to use jemalloc instead of libc to allocate the Lua VM code and
count it used memory.

## Process:
In this PR, we will use jemalloc in lua. 
1. Create an arena for all lua vm (script and function), which is
shared, in order to avoid blocking defragger.
2. Create a bound tcache for the lua VM, since the lua VM and the main
thread are by default in the same tcache, and if there is no isolated
tcache, lua may request memory from the tcache which has just been freed
by main thread, and vice versa
On the other hand, since lua vm might be release in bio thread, but
tcache is not thread-safe, we need to recreate
    the tcache every time we recreate the lua vm.
3. Remove lua memory statistics from memory fragmentation statistics to
avoid the effects of lua memory fragmentation

## Other
Add the following new fields to `INFO DEBUG` (we may promote them to
INFO MEMORY some day)
1. allocator_allocated_lua: total number of bytes allocated of lua arena
2. allocator_active_lua: total number of bytes in active pages allocated
in lua arena
3. allocator_resident_lua: maximum number of bytes in physically
resident data pages mapped in lua arena
4. allocator_frag_bytes_lua: fragment bytes in lua arena

This is oranagra's idea, and i got some help from sundb.

This solves the third point in #13102.

Redis Test Suite

The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating local redis-server instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.

The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is enabled using the --host and --port parameters. When executing against an external server, tests tagged external:skip are skipped.

There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:

Option Impact
--singledb Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported.
--ignore-encoding Skip all checks for specific encoding.
--ignore-digest Skip key value digest validations.
--cluster-mode Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode.
--large-memory Enables tests that consume more than 100mb

Tags

Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.

Tags can be applied in different context levels:

  • start_server context
  • tags context that bundles several tests together
  • A single test context.

The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:

Tag Indicates
external:skip Not compatible with external servers.
cluster:skip Not compatible with --cluster-mode.
large-memory Test that requires more than 100mb
tls:skip Not compatible with --tls.
needs:repl Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server.
needs:debug Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT REFCOUNT).
needs:pfdebug Uses the PFDEBUG command.
needs:config-maxmemory Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc.
needs:config-resetstat Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics.
needs:reset Uses RESET to reset client connections.
needs:save Uses SAVE or BGSAVE to create an RDB file.

When using an external server (--host and --port), filtering using the external:skip tags is done automatically.

When using --cluster-mode, filtering using the cluster:skip tag is done automatically.

When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem:skip tag is done automatically.

In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC use:

./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
