Connect to a Redis server.

Parameters:

• hostname: Redis server hostname or IP address (string, optional, defaults to "localhost")
• port: Redis server port number (integer, optional, defaults to 6379)

Returns: Redis connection context pointer that can be used to set the redis-context parameter.

(redis-connect "127.0.0.1" 6379)
(redis-connect "localhost" 6379)
(redis-connect)  ; Uses defaults: localhost:6379
(redis-connect "redis.example.com")  ; Uses default port 6379

After connecting you will need to set the context for all the redis functions. This ensures that your local thread has a context available.
