Mark PFCOUNT as read-only, even if not true.

PFCOUNT is technically speaking a write command, since the cached value
of the HLL is exposed in the data structure (design error, mea culpa), and
can be modified by PFCOUNT.

However if we flag PFCOUNT as "w", read only slaves can't execute the
command, which is a problem since there are environments where slaves
are used to scale PFCOUNT reads.

Nor it is possible to just prevent PFCOUNT to modify the data structure
in slaves, since without the cache we lose too much efficiency.

So while this commit allows slaves to create a temporary inconsistency
(the strings representing the HLLs in the master and slave can be
different in certain moments) it is actually harmless.

In the long run this should be probably fixed by turning the HLL into a
more opaque representation, for example by storing the cached value in
the part of the string which is not exposed (this should be possible
with SDS strings).
