We've come across cases when certain characters break Beaver transmitting log lines. This PR ensures all log lines correctly conform to UTF-8 when they're formatted for transmission.
- Set timeout to 1 second. [Tim Stoop]

Apparantly, it needs to be an integer, so we cannot use pika's default
of .25.
- Revert "Lower the default to .25, which is pika's default." [Tim
Stoop]

This reverts commit 17157990a272e458cc9253666f01c6002b84bda8.

This changeset adds support for publishing log entries to a Redis
channel, which is also supported by Logstash's Redis input.

Beaver configuration files can now supply a `redis_data_type` key. Valid
values for this key are `list` and `channel`. If left unset, the default
is `list`.
