Description
Update the Redis input to report its health status, providing better visibility into the operational state for users.
The Redis input should report its health status using the [`context.UpdateStatus()`](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/9190f776f5fb612a880cb013a9eec8a49fe17afd/filebeat/input/v2/input.go#L112) method. Status changes should only be reported when the status actually changes (don't repeatedly send HEALTHY if the status is already HEALTHY).
### Status Reporting
The input should report the following states:
- **STARTING**: TBD
- **CONFIGURING**: TBD
- **HEALTHY**: TBD
- **DEGRADED**: TBD
- **FAILED**: TBD
Include relevant context information with non-HEALTHY states:
- TBD

See the CEL input implementation for reference:

Research direction
Start by reading the Redis input and the input/v2 context.UpdateStatus() API, then compare the CEL input implementation at x-pack/filebeat/input/cel/input.go. Clarify the meanings of the five listed states and the required context for non-HEALTHY states. Done means status changes are reported only when they change and all agreed states are covered.
