refactor(discord-gateway): optimize redis usage and audio stream handling

- refactor(command-handler): replace per-call Redis connection creation with a persistent publisher connection to reduce overhead
- refactor(recorder): switch from manual audio stream subscription to direct event listeners on the existing stream
- feat(recorder): implement exponential backoff for voice connection retries
- chore(config): update default DECODER_COOLDOWN_MS to 30000ms
