Fixed crash in Redis adapter when storeConfig is not provided

[muratcorlu]

When storeConfig was omitted from the Redis cache adapter config, the retryStrategy callback would throw a TypeError whenever ioredis tried to reconnect to Redis, crashing Ghost instead of recovering gracefully. Fixed by using optional chaining on config.storeConfig.

Also fixed missing (config.username) JSDoc definition.

Walkthrough

This change enhances the Redis cache adapter's error handling and documentation. The implementation adds JSDoc support for an optional config.username parameter and updates the retryStrategy function to use optional chaining when accessing config.storeConfig.retryConnectSeconds. This prevents potential TypeErrors when storeConfig is undefined, ensuring the retry strategy defaults to 10 seconds. Accompanying test coverage validates that retryStrategy correctly handles three scenarios: missing storeConfig, missing retryConnectSeconds, and explicitly configured retry intervals.
