[PD] Redis sync, async and subscriber client: Puredis

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I like the idea of a puredis-loader object.  It could either be  
blocking, and that's just a known thing to workaround, i.e. load the  
file at patch startup.  That's a good place to start at least, then  
things like threading, background loading, etc. could be explored later.
