Allow configuring redis instance for rate limiting
What does this MR do?
The ability to use a separate Redis for rate-limiting (RackAttack and Application Rate Limits) is being added (gitlab-com/gl-infra&526 (closed)), and this MR supports that by enabling configuration of such a Redis in Helm.
The Rails MR is still in flight but the only dependency is the name of the config yaml, which is "rate_limiting.yml" and I would not expect that to undergo any discussion/disagreement.
