[FIX] Prevent keys from starting with slashes (#172)

* [FIX] Prevent keys from starting with slashes

If a key starts with a slash, then it becomes undeletable and prevents database purges from working properly as well.
This prevents that from occuring by stripping slashes from the left of the key name.

* Double newlines for flake8

* flake8 wanted another newline here

* Force `set_bulk_raw` to handle keys with slashes as well

* Add tests for keys starting with a slash

* Fix a typo I made twice

* flake8

* `del self.db[k]` not `self.db.delete(k)` in non-Async

* One space for flake8

* These were also wrong

* These shouldn't be using `get`

* Match format of some of the other tests in TestDatabase

* Perhaps the key is corrupted?

* Have to `get_raw` for `_raw` calls.

* Reassociate _dumps with def dumps

* Only call keyStrip at the root of the .set function hierarchy

* Clarify that keyStrip is an internal method
