This patch migrates from `redis==5.2.1` [1] to `valkey==6.1.0` [2].
The migration to valkey is necessary because the company behind Redis has decided
to abandon the open source license. After experiencing a drop in user numbers,
they now want to run it under a dual license again. But this move demonstrates
once again how unreliable the company is and how it treats open source
developers.
To review first, read the docs::
