dict.c: introduce dictUnlink().
Notes by @antirez: This patch was picked from a larger commit by Oran and adapted to change the API a bit. The basic idea is to avoid double lookups when there is to use the value of the deleted entry. BEFORE: entry = dictFind( ... ); /* 1st lookup. */ /* Do somethjing with the entry. */ dictDelete(...); /* 2nd lookup. */ AFTER: entry = dictUnlink( ... ); /* 1st lookup. */ /* Do somethjing with the entry. */ dictFreeUnlinkedEntry(entry); /* No lookups!. */
