[18.5] Downgrade redis-rb gem to v5.4.0

What does this MR do and why?

This backports !209191 (merged) to 18-5-stable-ee.

In https://github.com/redis/redis-rb/pull/1312, redis v5.4.1 was updated to translate RedisClient::ConnectionError to Redis::ConnectionError to avoid leaking the underlying exception. However, ActionCable v7.1.5.2 relied on this behavior and only reconnected if RedisClient::ConnectionError were raised. As a result, if the Redis server terminated an idle connection, the Puma thread would raise an exception and cause the worker process to restart.

Rails has since been updated to handle this in https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/55359. The fix has been committed to the Rails 7-1-stable branch but not yet released.
