antirez/redis — Issue #335: "make install" should update binary without shutting down the server

In src/Makefile, change:

INSTALL= cp -p

to:

INSTALL= cp -pf

Updates would be a lot easier if they could be done without downtime. Then the server only has to be restarted for the new update to take effect. This is especially useful if you already have supervisor/manager processes that auto-restart a redis server.
