This is an attempt to normalize/formalize command summaries. Main actions performed: * Starts with the continuation of the phrase "The XXXX command, when called, ..." for user commands. * Starts with "An internal command...", "A container command...", etc... when applicable. * Always uses periods. * Refrains from referring to other commands. If this is needed, backquotes should be used for command names. * Tries to be very clear about the data type when applicable. * Tries to mention additional effects, e.g. "The key is created if it doesn't exist" and "The set is deleted if the last member is removed." * Prefers being terse over verbose. * Tries to be consistent.

Work in progress towards implementing a reply schema as part of COMMAND DOCS, see #9845 Since ironing the details of the reply schema of each and every command can take a long time, we would like to merge this PR when the infrastructure is ready, and let this mature in the unstable branch. Meanwhile the changes of this PR are internal, they are part of the repo, but do not affect the produced build. ### Background In #9656 we add a lot of information about Redis commands, but we are missing information about the replies ### Motivation 1. Documentation. This is the primary goal. 2. It should be possible, based on the output of COMMAND, to be able to generate client code in typed languages. In order to do that, we need Redis to tell us, in detail, what each reply looks like. 3. We would like to build a fuzzer that verifies the reply structure (for now we use the existing testsuite, see the "Testing" section) ### Schema...

Adding command tips (see https://redis.io/topics/command-tips) to commands. Breaking changes: 1. Removed the "random" and "sort_for_script" flags. They are now command tips. (this isn't affecting redis behavior since #9812, but could affect some client applications that's relying on COMMAND command flags) Summary of changes: 1. add BLOCKING flag (new flag) for all commands that could block. The ACL category with the same name is now implicit. 2. move RANDOM flag to a `nondeterministic_output` tip 3. move SORT_FOR_SCRIPT flag to `nondeterministic_output_order` tip 3. add REQUEST_POLICY and RESPONSE_POLICY where appropriate as documented in the tips 4. deprecate (ignore) the `random` flag for RM_CreateCommand Other notes: 1. Proxies need to send `RANDOMKEY` to all shards and then select one key randomly. The other option is to pick a random shard and transfer `RANDOMKEY `to it, but that scheme fails if this specific shard is empty 2. Remove CMD_RANDOM from `XACK` (i.e. XACK does not have RANDOM_OUTPUT) It was added in 9e4fb96c, I guess by mistake. Also from `(P)EXPIRETIME` (new command, was flagged "random" by mistake). 3. Add `nondeterministic_output` to `OBJECT ENCODING` (for the same reason `XTRIM` has it: the reply may differ depending on the internal representation in memory) 4. RANDOM on `HGETALL` was wrong (there due to a limitation of the old script sorting logic), now it's `nondeterministic_output_order` 5. Unrelated: Hide CMD_PROTECTED from COMMAND

Delete the hardcoded command table and replace it with an auto-generated table, based on a JSON file that describes the commands (each command must have a JSON file). These JSON files are the SSOT of everything there is to know about Redis commands, and it is reflected fully in COMMAND INFO. These JSON files are used to generate commands.c (using a python script), which is then committed to the repo and compiled. The purpose is: * Clients and proxies will be able to get much more info from redis, instead of relying on hard coded logic. * drop the dependency between Redis-user and the commands.json in redis-doc. * delete help.h and have redis-cli learn everything it needs to know just by issuing COMMAND (will be done in a separate PR) * redis.io should stop using commands.json and learn everything from Redis (ultimately one of the release artifacts should be a large JSON, containing all the information about all of the commands, ...
