compression
- More than 15 performance and resource utilization improvements
- New metrics: per-slot usage metrics, key size distributions for basic
data types, and more

accepted connection reports an error

### New Features (compared to 8.2-RC1)

- #14141 Keyspace notifications - new event types:
  - `OVERWRITTEN` - the value of a key is completely overwritten
  - `TYPE_CHANGED` - key type change

### Bug fixes (compared to 8.2-RC1)

- #14162 Crash when using evport with I/O threads
- #14163 `EVAL` crash when error table is empty
- #14144 Vector sets - RDB format is not compatible with big endian
machines
- #14165 Endless client blocking for blocking commands
- #14164 Prevent `CLIENT UNBLOCK` from unblocking `CLIENT PAUSE`

### Performance and resource utilization improvements (compared to
8.2-RC1)

- #14200 Store iterators on stack instead of on heap
- #14144 Vector set - improve RDB loading / RESTORE speed by storing the
worst link info
- #Q6430 More compression variants for the SVS-VAMANA vector index
- #Q6535 `SHARD_K_RATIO` parameter - favor network latency over accuracy
for KNN vector query in a Redis cluster (unstable feature) (MOD-10359)

### Modules API

- #14051 `RedisModule_Get*`, `RedisModule_Set*` - allow modules to
access Redis configurations
- #14114 `RM_UnsubscribeFromKeyspaceEvents` - unregister a module from
specific keyspace notifications

Hello, this is a patch that improves vector sets in two ways:

1. It makes the RDB format compatible with big endian machines: yeah,
they are non existent nowadays, but still it is better to be correct.
The behavior remains unchanged in little endian systems, it only changes
what happens in big endian systems in order for it to load and emit the
exact same format produced by little endian. The implementation was
*already largely safe* but for one detail.

2. More importantly, this PR saves nodes worst link score / index in a
backward compatible way, introducing also versioning information for the
serialized node encoding, that could be useful in the future. With this
information, that in the past was not saved for a programming error
(mine), there is no longer need to compute the worst link info at
runtime when loading data. This results in a speed improvement of about
30% when loading data from disk / RESTORE. The saving performance is
unaffected.

The patch was tested with care to be sure that data produced with old
vector sets implementations are loaded without issues (that is, the
backward compatibility was hand-tested). The new code is tested by the
persistence test already in the test suite, so no new test was added.
