Breaking Changes

Redis client is now redis and not ioredis
options have been renamed:
- timeoutMillis -> timeout
- retryTimeMillis -> pollingInterval -- and it is now only used for expired locks, other wise pub/sub is used with released locks
- failAfterMillis -> failAfter
FIFO option has been removed: existing implementation was wrong, it failed on lock-holder crash or failing to acquire the lock, and I could not come up with an implementation that would retain the functionality using redis only -- I sincerely apologize to anyone who have used it.
timeout and pollingInterval have defaults. Locks are not allowed to lock indefinitely.

Add tryLock that attempts to acquire lock in a non-blocking manner
Lock release Pub/Sub: When a lock is released, Redis Pub/Sub is used to signal waiting processes to attempt acquiring the lock. This gives huge performance gains making the locks more performant and waiting processes acquire locks faster.
onFail: a feature request long time ago, finally made it to release.

See project's main README for details about all the points in this release.
