BREAKING CHANGES

• slotsRefreshInterval is disabled by default,
  previously, the default value was 5000.
• allowUsernameInURI is removed and ioredis will always
  use the username passed via URI.
  Previously, the username part in new Redis("redis://username:authpassword@127.0.0.1:6380/4")
  was ignored unless allowUsernameInURI is specified: new Redis("redis://username:authpassword@127.0.0.1:6380/4?allowUsernameInURI=true").
  Now, if you don't want to send username to Redis, just leave the username part empty:
  new Redis("redis://:authpassword@127.0.0.1:6380/4")
• Redis#serverInfo is removed. This field is never documented so
  you very likely have never used it.
• Support for third-party Promise libraries is dropped. Related methods (exports.Promise = require('bluebird')) are kept but they don't take any effects. The native Promise will always be used.
• We now require Node.js v12 or newer.
• Redis can't be called as a function anymore as it's now a class.
  Please change Redis() to new Redis(). Note that Redis() was already deprecated
  in the previous version.
