Client types generalized.
Because of output buffer limits Redis internals had this idea of type of clients: normal, pubsub, slave. It is possible to set different output buffer limits for the three kinds of clients. However all the macros and API were named after output buffer limit classes, while the idea of a client type is a generic one that can be reused. This commit does two things: 1) Rename the API and defines with more general names. 2) Change the class of clients executing the MONITOR command from "slave" to "normal". "2" is a good idea because you want to have very special settings for slaves, that are not a good idea for MONITOR clients that are instead normal clients even if they are conceptually slave-alike (since it is a push protocol). The backward-compatibility breakage resulting from "2" is considered to be minimal to care, since MONITOR is a debugging command, and because anyway this change is not going to break the format or the behavior, but just when a connection is closed on big output buffer issues.
