Sanitize dump payload: performance optimizations and tuning
First, if the ziplist header is surely inside the ziplist, do fast path decoding rather than the careful one. In that case, streamline the encoding if-else chain to be executed only once, and the encoding validity tested at the end. encourage inlining likely / unlikely hints for speculative execution Assertion used _exit(1) to tell the compiler that the code after them is not reachable and get rid of warnings. But in some cases assertions are placed inside tight loops, and any piece of code in them can slow down execution (code cache and other reasons), instead using either abort() or better yet, unreachable builtin.
