Move pushes_since_gc to Redis

Yorick Peterse requested to merge pushes-since-gc-redis into master

What does this MR do?

This moves tracking of the pushes since the last Git GC to Redis to reduce DB load.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Styling mostly.

Why was this MR needed?

Updating this column can lead to a lot of writes which in turn puts a lot of load on table vacuuming. For example, in the last hour alone we had 5067 UPDATEs for this column (per InfluxDB):

> select count(increment_pushes_since_gc_call_count) from sidekiq_transactions where time > now() - 1h;
name: sidekiq_transactions
--------------------------
time                    count
1473780996567714622     5067

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

What are the relevant issue numbers?
