Fix AOF bug: expire could be removed from key on AOF rewrite.

There was a race condition in the AOF rewrite code that, with bad enough
timing, could cause a volatile key just about to expire to be turned
into a non-volatile key. The bug was never reported to cause actualy
issues, but was found analytically by an user in the Redis mailing list:

This commit fixes issue #1079.
