Replication: better way to send a preamble before RDB payload.
During the replication full resynchronization process, the RDB file is transfered from the master to the slave. However there is a short preamble to send, that is currently just the bulk payload length of the file in the usual Redis form $..length..<CR><LF>. This preamble used to be sent with a direct write call, assuming that there was alway room in the socket output buffer to hold the few bytes needed, however this does not scale in case we'll need to send more stuff, and is not very robust code in general. This commit introduces a more general mechanism to send a preamble up to 2GB in size (the max length of an sds string) in a non blocking way.
