Swap to UNLINK for Redis set cache
What does this MR do?
This uses UNLINK in Redis 4 to delete sets. This unlinks the key from the value but actually deletes the value asynchronously. With large sets this should give us a reasonable performance boost.
This MR also implements multi-key deletes for RepositorySetCache methods in the Repository model, meaning only one UNLINK call will be issued for all sets being expired.
Implements :repository_set_cache_unlink
feature flag, defaulting to on.
