```This command performs a full reset of the connection's server-side context, 
mimicking the effect of disconnecting and reconnecting again.

When the command is called from a regular client connection, it does the
following:

* Discards the current [`MULTI`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/multi) transaction block, if one exists.
* Unwatches all keys [`WATCH`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/watch)ed by the connection.
* Disables [`CLIENT TRACKING`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/client-tracking), if in use.
* Sets the connection to [`READWRITE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/readwrite) mode.
* Cancels the connection's [`ASKING`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/asking) mode, if previously set.
* Sets [`CLIENT REPLY`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/client-reply) to `ON`.
* Sets the protocol version to RESP2.
* [`SELECT`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/select)s database 0.
* Exits [`MONITOR`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/monitor) mode, when applicable.
* Aborts Pub/Sub's subscription state ([`SUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/subscribe) and [`PSUBSCRIBE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/psubscribe)), when
  appropriate.
* Deauthenticates the connection, requiring a call [`AUTH`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/auth) to reauthenticate when
  authentication is enabled.
* Turns off `NO-EVICT` mode.
* Turns off `NO-TOUCH` mode.
