This change is needed due to some internal changes in one of the
latest minor releases of PHPUnit 4.x that essentially broke how we
were checking for the required Redis version from method annotations.
This change targets only method annotations and aims to make the body
of tests more readable using the @requiresRedisVersion annotation.
Tests using this annotation requires to be assigned the "connected"
group of tests because they create a connection to the Redis instance
specified in phpunit.xml to fetch its the version.
This is a quick example of how this annotation can be used:
/**
* @group connected
* @requiresRedisVersion >= 2.8.9
*/
public function testExecutedOnlyWithMatchingRedisVersion()
{
}
Future improvements (currently not needed) include:
* Same annotation working on a class-level (but still applied only
to test methods with an explicitly assigned @group connected).
* Ability to specify a version range.

We now have a base test case class for Predis (namely PredisTestCase)
grouping various commonly used utility methods shared by all of the
tests in the suite, greatly improving reusability.
