Mighty Redis Pub/Sub to Queue extractor

MRPSTQE doesn't really sound like a name our marketing department could use, so please if you can think of a cool name let us know.

Purpose

A simple yet mighty Redis Pub/sub to Queue extractor written in Go. It's meant to Web Scale.

Usage

Define the following environment variables and GO:

• REDIS_HOST: I know this is hard to believe, but this variable actually is the Redis host.
• REDIS_PORT: Redis port but with an underscore between the words so our OCD doesn't spike.
• REDIS_CHANNEL: The name of the redis channel to subscribe to.
• DEBUG: Set to 1 to get MORE verbosity (is it ever enough?). Spoiler: setting it to 2 won't give you more verbosity just yet.
• REDIS_QUEUE: The name of the redis queue to queue all the messages received from REDIS_CHANNEL.
• QUEUE_TYPE: Allowed values are FIFO and LIFO, which stands for First In F*** off and Last In Fast Oatmeals, respectively.
