feat(counter): add Redis counter adapter, replace DrbCounter

- Add Mozo::Counter::Redis with same get/set/incr/decr interface
- Add redis gem (~> 5.0) to Gemfile
- Update cable.yml to use Redis adapter in production (shared with counters)
- Document DrbCounter → Redis migration in broadcasting-migration.md
- Redis installed and running on vmi3300327
- Leave Faye as current broadcaster; both switches are one-line changes

DrbCounter problems solved:
  - In-memory → persistent (RDB + AOF)
  - Single-process DRb → multi-process safe Redis
  - Atomic INCR/DECR across Puma workers
  - One less custom process to manage

# Counter: DrbCounter → Redis Migration
## Current state
```
Supplier::Counters (app/models/supplier/counters.rb)
→ Mozo::Counter.incr/decr/get/set
→ Mozo::Counter.connection (Mozo::DrbCounter.object)
→ DRb → druby://localhost:9022
→ InMemoryQCounter (separate Ruby process)
→ on startup: reloads counts from CouchDB
→ in-memory only (lost on restart)
```
## Problems
1. **In-memory only** — restart the DRb process = lose all counts until CouchDB reload
2. **Single-process** — DRb runs one Ruby process, single point of failure
3. **Separate process** — another thing to monitor, deploy, and restart
4. **Race conditions** — between Puma workers, increment/decrement is not atomic across the DRb boundary
5. **Custom code**`InMemoryQCounter` is 100 lines of hand-rolled counter logic
## Target state
```
Supplier::Counters
→ Mozo::Counter.incr/decr/get/set
→ Mozo::Counter.connection (Mozo::Counter::Redis.new)
→ Redis (localhost:6379)
→ persistent, atomic, multi-process safe
```
## How to switch
In `config/initializers/mozo_settings.rb`, change:
```ruby
# Mozo::Counter.connection = Mozo::DrbCounter.object # old
Mozo::Counter.connection = Mozo::Counter::Redis.new # new
```
That's it. All existing `Mozo::Counter.get/set/incr/decr` calls work unchanged.
## What Redis provides
- **Atomic INCR/DECR** — no race conditions
- **Persistence** — RDB snapshots + AOF, survives restarts
- **Multi-process** — all Puma workers share the same Redis
- **Already needed** — ActionCable uses Redis for pub/sub in production
- **Battle-tested** — millions of deployments
## Migration steps
1. `apt-get install redis-server` — already done on vmi3300327
2. `gem 'redis', '~> 5.0'` — added to Gemfile
3. Switch `Mozo::Counter.connection` — one-line change in mozo_settings.rb
4. Stop the DRb counter process (`drb_counter/drb_counter.rb`)
