Description
Add a functionality similar to Django ORM's save(update_fields=list) to the ojb.save() method. Currently, the save method writes all data in full to Redis. When two processes simultaneously save the same object, the later save operation will overwrite the attributes modified by the earlier save operation.

Research direction
Start by tracing the ojb.save() entry point and how it writes complete objects to Redis. Compare the requested update_fields behavior with Django ORM semantics, then add coverage for simultaneous saves so only selected attributes are updated and earlier changes are not overwritten.
