Use Redis for CacheMarkDownField on non AR models

This allows using `CacheMarkdownField` for models that are not backed
by ActiveRecord.

When the including class inherits `ActiveRecord::Base` we include
`Gitlab::MarkdownCache::ActiveRecord::Extension`. This will cause the
markdown fields to be rendered and the generated HTML stored in a
`<field>_html` attribute on the record. We also store the version
used for generating the markdown.

All other classes that include this model will include the
`Gitlab::MarkdownCache::Redis::Extension`. This add the `<field>_html`
attributes to that model and will generate the html in them. The
generated HTML will be cached in redis under the key
`markdown_cache:<class>:<id>`. The class this included in must
therefore respond to `id`.
