Carmine Redis appender

;; [com.taoensso/carmine <latest-version>] ; Add to project.clj deps

(timbre/merge-config! {:appenders {:carmine (car-appender/carmine-appender)}})

This gives us a high-performance Redis appender:

• All raw logging args are preserved in serialized form (even errors).
• Configurable number of entries to keep per log level.
• Only the most recent instance of each unique entry is kept.
• Resulting log is just a Clojure value: a vector of log entries (maps).

Clojure has a rich selection of built-in and community tools for querying values like this.
