Reduce eval related overhead introduced in v7.0 by evalCalcFunctionName (#11521)
As being discussed in #10981 we see a degradation in performance
between v6.2 and v7.0 of Redis on the EVAL command.
After profiling the current unstable branch we can see that we call the
expensive function evalCalcFunctionName twice.
The current "fix" is to basically avoid calling evalCalcFunctionName and
even dictFind(lua_scripts) twice for the same command.
Instead we cache the current script's dictEntry (for both Eval and Functions)
in the current client so we don't have to repeat these calls.
The exception would be when doing an EVAL on a new script that's not yet
in the script cache. in that case we will call evalCalcFunctionName (and even
evalExtractShebangFlags) twice.
