Allow compression of interior quicklist nodes
Let user set how many nodes to *not* compress. We can specify a compression "depth" of how many nodes to leave uncompressed on each end of the quicklist. Depth 0 = disable compression. Depth 1 = only leave head/tail uncompressed. - (read as: "skip 1 node on each end of the list before compressing") Depth 2 = leave head, head->next, tail->prev, tail uncompressed. - ("skip 2 nodes on each end of the list before compressing") Depth 3 = Depth 2 + head->next->next + tail->prev->prev - ("skip 3 nodes...") etc. This also: - updates RDB storage to use native quicklist compression (if node is already compressed) instead of uncompressing, generating the RDB string, then re-compressing the quicklist node. - internalizes the "fill" parameter for the quicklist so we don't need to pass it to _every_ function. Now it's just a property of the list. - allows a runtime-configurable compression option, so we can expose a compresion parameter in the configuration file if people want to trade slight request-per-second performance for up to 90%+ memory savings in some situations. - updates the quicklist tests to do multiple passes: 200k+ tests now.
