Fix database migrations when Redis is not running

If Redis were not running or USE_DB were set to false, the
application settings retrieval would fail completely. This
change only attempts to use the cache if the system actually
wants to connect to the DB and rescues any failures in talking to
Redis.

Closes #17557
