Migrate Historian from InfluxDB to REDIS Streams?

[TShapinsky]

If we use REDIS streams to communicate run outputs we get historian functionality for free.

Caveat is that Redis Stream operations are classified as "slow". Influxdb writes are currently a major component limiting the maximum speed of runs in Alfalfa.

Discussion today:

1. NREL Alfalfa deployments will likely integrate with broader data analysis and viz tooling for ARIES
2. For now, main historian-related pain point is ability to download history CSV from alfalfa-client #434

Oh no, it wasn't supposed to say complete. I was just closing because we decided that we wouldn't go down this route.
