Making asynq working locally without Redis

[davidroman0O]

Hi

I love this repository and library, it's super handy to build queues systems! Therefore, I really wanted to be able to use it on any kind of app even without Redis itself. Why bothering re-implementing a job system or use sqlite with cgo?!

I'm working on a side project leveraging that idea but that's not the goal this post.

I just wanted to share that I've been using miniredis with asynq to build an app and it is working now.

The main issue was asynq dash and most calls like GetQueueInfo will trigger an error due to a missing call to MEMORY USAGE command on miniredis but a PullRequest was done to implement a somewhat similar kind of call.

I'm happy to say that you can now perfectly use asynq dash to debug your queue on a codebase that use asynq and miniredis at the same time to build single binary application and still reuse a bunch of code if one day you need to add a real instance of redis.

That's it! Just wanted to notify that the pull request made it work :)

Thank you @hibiken for your work, I'm glad to sponsor you to continue maintaining asynq
