feat(api): implement Redis cache get/set/delete with TTL support

- Add async Redis client using redis-py with connection pooling
- Implement get/set/delete with graceful degradation when unavailable
- Add TTL support (default 300s) via SETEX
- Add cache invalidation hooks for price and product changes
- Use pattern-based SCAN for bulk invalidation
