Add alternative Redis backend for Rack::Attack

This adds a feature-flagged new backend for Rack::Attack. The goal is to reduce the number of Redis calls we make. To enable the new backend, set the environment variable GITLAB_RACK_ATTACK_NEW_STORE=1.

If this works as expected on GitLab.com we will remove the old store and the feature flag.
