Provide warning for using Redis to store Data Protection keys

[wadepickett]

Description

Redis is frequently used as a Data Protection key storage provider in ASP.NET Core. However, by default, Redis doesn't persist data across service restarts, which may lead to loss of encryption keys and application failures. There is a need to warn users in documentation about this risk and point them to relevant Redis persistence configuration resources.

Proposal:
Add a clear warning in documentation about using Redis for Data Protection keys and include guidance for enabling Redis persistence.
