Add KVSTORE_FREE_EMPTY_DICTS to cluster mode keys / expires kvstore (#13072)
Currently (following #11695, and #12822), keys kvstore and expires
kvstore both flag with ON_DEMAND, it means that a cluster node will
only allocate a dict when the slot is assigned to it and populated,
but on the other hand, when the slot is unassigned, the dict will
remain allocated.
We considered releasing the dict when the slot is unassigned, but it
causes complications on replicas. On the other hand, from benchmarks
we conducted, it looks like the performance impact of releasing the
dict when it becomes empty and re-allocate it when a key is added
again, isn't huge.
This PR add KVSTORE_FREE_EMPTY_DICTS to cluster mode keys / expires
kvstore.
The impact is about about 2% performance drop, for this hopefully
uncommon scenario.
