Upgrade redis gem in gitlab-rails

This issue tracks the efforts to upgrade the redis gem for gitlab rails as part of epic &941.

Since the redis gem is used widely within the application, a major version bump should be performed carefully and mindful of breakages.

  • Preliminary review of the v5 gem's feasibility and challenges are outlined in #2571 (closed)
  • The workaround for the external dependency breakage is being explored in #2585 (closed)
  • The resolution of breakages due to type strictness in the upgraded gem is being discussed in #2586 (closed)
