actions-setup-redis

This action sets by redis database for use in actions by:

• optionally downloading and caching a version of redis
• start redis-server

Motivation

• GitHub Actions supports Docker services, and there is the official redis image. but it works on only Linux.
• Some test utils for redis (such as Test::RedisServer) requires redis-server installed on the local host.
