Provide packages for Redis from redis.io

[mmaakdotsource]

Hi,

i would be nice if this ansible role provide a possibility to got redis packes from the redis.io repository.
Currently Debian Std. Repo provides redis 6.0.x and debian backport 7.0.x.
On redis.io, redis is available up to 7.2.x.

@mmaakdotsource I have done something like this to be able to download the correct redis version on Ubuntu/Debian:

-   name: "Redis {{ redis_version }}"
    hosts: all
    become: true
    pre_tasks:
        -   name: Download Redis GPG key and save as dearmored file
            shell: "curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg"
            args:
                creates: /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
        -   name: Set permissions for the GPG key
            file:
                path: /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
                mode: '0644'
        -   name: Add Redis APT repository
            shell: "echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb {{ ansible_lsb.codename }} main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list"
            args:
                creates: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
        -   name: Ensure required packages are installed
            apt:
                name:
                    - lsb-release
                    - curl
                    - gpg
                    - "redis-tools=6:{{ redis_version }}*"
                    - "redis-server=6:{{ redis_version }}*"
                state: present
                update_cache: yes
        -   name: Add vm.overcommit_memory to sysctl.conf
            lineinfile:
                path: /etc/sysctl.conf
                regexp: '^vm.overcommit_memory='
                line: 'vm.overcommit_memory=1'
                state: present
        -   name: Reload sysctl to apply changes from sysctl.conf
            command: sysctl -p
    roles:
        -   role: geerlingguy.redis
            vars:
                redis_package: "redis=6:{{ redis_version }}*"
                redis_databases: 3
                redis_extra_config: |
