* Remove unused code from compat module

* Remove unused dictconfig

* Remove compatibility layer

This completely removes the compat module. It moves utilities
functions (`as_text` and `decode_redis_hash`) to the `utils`
module, is eliminates the use of the proxies `text_type` and
`string_types`, using the `str` construct directly.

* Remove compat module

Finishes the cleaning of the compatibility module.
The last function being the `is_python_version` function
which was being used internally.

* Fix old import

* Fix Imports

* Remove Dummy (Force GH Actions)

* Fix Imports

* Organize Imports
