BGREWRITEAOF rewrites the Append Only File in background when it gets too big. The Redis Append
Only File is a Journal, so every operation modifying the dataset is logged in the Append Only
File (and replayed at startup). This means that the Append Only File always grows. In order to
rebuild its content the BGREWRITEAOF creates a new version of the append only file starting
directly form the dataset in memory in order to guarantee the generation of the minimal number
of commands needed to rebuild the database.
