Broker: Replace rabbitmq with redis

Since we are using redis anyways now for the locking branch i suggest we use it as a broker too.

Basically BROKER_URL = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/' becomes BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/0' in alliance_auth/settings.py.example

Steps to install:

  1. pip install redis (already covered by latest nolocking merge)
  2. change BROKER_URL

Advantage is that redis is fast, easy to config and lightweight and rabbitmq the exact opposite.
