Support using redis urls to construct the redis client (#1994)

Currently Athens only supports connecting to Redis using a hostname:port combination in addition to a password. While this works in most cases it also means that if you have other options you wish to supply Athens has to be updated to support them. As a basic example Redis clusters that require TLS currently are not supported by Athens but with this change you can simply supply a [redis url](https://github.com/redis/redis-specifications/blob/master/uri/redis.txt) to connect over TLS. It also makes it easy to override the password, set a username and more all from a single configuration option:

`rediss://username:password@redis.example.com:6379/1?protocol=3`

+If the redis url is invalid or cannot be parsed, Athens will fall back to treating `Endpoint` as if it were
+a normal `host:port` pair. If a password is supplied in the redis url, in addition to being provided in the `Password`
+configuration option, the two values must match otherwise Athens will fail to start.

 ##### Customizing lock configurations:
 If you would like to customize the distributed lock options then you can optionally override the default lock config to better suit your use-case:
