Replace Redis with Valkey

Caution

This is me playing around with Valkey as a Redis replacement, since so many people from the community mentioned Valkey already.
There is no guarantee that this will be merged at all.

It's nice to experiment with this, but could cause some pain for us to maintain self-hosted since prod uses redis

[frederikspang]

While valkey is a great replacement - I think Redis 8 should be the natural next-step - We're running redis:8.0.2-alpine in prod; And we're seeing no problems there. We could try tuning for io-threads for throughput?

I haven't measured how much throughput is actually in Redis, by default (vs kafka vs postgresql for instance).

But if Celery + rate limits + something-else is running there, there must be some.

I can test out 8.2 with increased io-threads over the next few weeks in our prod.

I think Redis 8's license is okay to use in this repo? @gavin-zee? -- https://redis.io/legal/licenses/

@BYK nevertheless, aren't we currently running Redis 6 on SaaS?

@aldy505 good to be prepared. Also I didn't look who wrote the redis-8 message and now I realize it was @frederikspang who is not part of Sentry 😅
