Redis Hiredis Windows compatibility patches

Hello (again)!

We've been using the native hiredis client from this repo to interface with tporadowski/redis on Windows, but to do this, we've had to apply a number of compatibility patches.

Would you be interested in incorporating the patches upstream?

You can find our patches here (the ones mentioning Redis). We currently use Redis 5.0.9.

Some of them may not be important/desired upstream (e.g. for suppressing build output), but others are compatibility patches that I think should be relatively useful for other users and easy to incorporate upstream.

If you have any questions about them please let me know.

Hello @mehrdadn

This appears to belong in the https://github.com/redis/hiredis repository - kindly close this issue and feel free to open a new one there.

Keep in mind that this issue tracker should be used for reporting bugs or proposing improvements to the Redis server.

Ah yes, I didn't realize they're separate repositories. Thank you! https://github.com/redis/hiredis/issues/838
