Promote Valkey to GA in 19.0

What does this MR do?

Promote Valkey to Generally Available in GitLab 19.0.

Remove Beta status markers from the Valkey documentation and configuration template. Valkey is now fully supported as an opt-in alternative to Redis via redis['backend'] = 'valkey', with Redis 7.2 remaining the default.

Changes:

  • doc/settings/redis.md: Remove {{< details >}} Beta status block, add GA history entry for 19.0, remove inline Beta sentence
  • files/gitlab-config-template/gitlab.rb.template: Remove (Beta) from section heading and comment, update docs URL anchor
