Public bug reported:

Redis support for the session handler was added in #1747297 (in 18.04)
but the connector requires sentinel support (which isn't documented),
and can't be used with the AWS Redis-as-a-service feature.

Or at least, if it can, it's not clear how to actually do that, because
all of the changes in
https://git.mahara.org/mahara/mahara/commit/edd6ec19a5c69ba18edaacd7054e2ea3777709fb
seem to rely on having a sentinel set up and then overriding whatever
might be otherwise set in the php.ini file to use a sentinel.

It would be great if it could be configured to optionally use a sentinel
server since there are some configurations where this absolutely makes
sense, but there are some where it's not connecting to a sentinel server
but services like AWS where it's just effectively a single Redis server
without sentinel support.
