[Redis Receiver] Rename to generic name

receiver/redis

Describe the issue you're reporting

Currently the Redis receiver is called Redis (as expected 😅), but Redis has recently changed its licensing distribution, and Valkey was created by the community to continue the project as an Open Source driven project. Valkey/about:

The transition garnered substantial backing from leading tech corporations including AWS, Google, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap, with the Linux Foundation stepping in to provide a stable platform for this new direction.

Linux Foundation Launches Open Source Valkey Community.

It would be great to rename the component to a more generic name, as Valkey works perfectly with it.

I've just sent a PR to the OTel demo replacing Redis with Valkey: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo/pull/1619

@rogercoll suggested datastore, but anything more generic than the Redis name, would be great.

Not sure how we would do this migration without introducing a breaking change though.
