Support for Redis SSL

[rain2o]

Redis does not support SSL connections natively, however there are certain platforms that setup a work-around to force SSL connection to their Redis services. Azure is one of these platforms.

This issue on node_redis covers the basis of my situation right now. According to them they will not support SSL because Redis does not. However, you can see in a comment on this issue where the users of the platform in question requested the same feature and they moved to redisio in order to support SSL connection.

At the moment this is a feature request, but really more of a discussion starter as to the level of effort it would take to move to something like redisio to support Redis SSL connections, and if that would be considered.

@pkarw What do you think?

I don’t have a strong preference on that. Reid’s is just an auxiliary tool for VS; we can switch to other key/value storage even. Maybe we just need to introduce an abstraction layer and then be able to implement different drivers by jus switching it in config?
