Title: Allow users to pass a socket timeout when calling redis.connect. 

We had issues with redis-lua hanging our web services because it had trouble connecting at times. The default timeout of 30 seconds was a real nightmare since our web workers should should be returning quickly.

To solve this issue we added the ability to pass a timeout into the connect call. This allows us to connect to redis in a non-blocking manner.
