[RFC] New safe_set and safe_add methods for ngx.shared.DICT objects in ngx_lua

Hello!

I've pushed a commit to the "shdict-safe-store" branch in ngx_lua's
git repos, which adds the new safe_set and safe_add methods for
ngx.shared.DICT objects:

    https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/commit/17b349e

To quote the commit log: "feature: added new methods safe_set and
safe_get to ngx.shared.DICT objects, which never override existing
unexpired items but immediately return nil and a "no memory" string
message when running out of storage. thanks Matthieu Tourne for
requesting this."

Comments welcome :)

Thanks!
