feat: Introduce Redis-backed stream services for enhanced job management

- Added createStreamServices function to configure job store and event transport, supporting both Redis and in-memory options.
- Updated GenerationJobManager to allow configuration with custom job stores and event transports, improving flexibility for different deployment scenarios.
- Refactored IJobStore interface to support asynchronous content retrieval, ensuring compatibility with Redis implementations.
- Implemented RedisEventTransport for real-time event delivery across instances, enhancing scalability and responsiveness.
- Updated InMemoryJobStore to align with new async patterns for content and run step retrieval, ensuring consistent behavior across storage options.
