Docs on custom Redis configs - string vs. symbol keys

[franzliedke]

The documentation on configuring Redis in an initializer explicitly states:

NOTE: The configuration hash must have symbolized keys.

This does not seem to be the case anymore. Do I assume correctly that this can be removed? Didn't want to edit the wiki without asking... 😃

If they’ve fixed it, yeah you can remove that.

The redis gem may still have that requirement. But a workaround for this was added on Sidekiq's side (see the link in my original post), apparently in PR #2989.

As that likely won't change your answer, I made the change. 😎 Thanks!
