Description
Move connection passwords out of plaintext ~/.maxdev/redis_client_settings.json into the OS keychain. Versioned migration: read plaintext -> write keychain -> drop the plaintext field; tolerate both formats (aggressive auto-update means every install migrates on release day). Pick the cross-platform keychain library first. Relates to #4.

Research direction
Start by tracing how ~/.maxdev/redis_client_settings.json is read and written, and review related issue #4. First evaluate a cross-platform OS keychain library; done means versioned migration moves existing passwords into the keychain, removes the plaintext field, and accepts both settings formats during rollout.
