Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing store implementations (e.g., Redis) in the fastify rate limit plugin. Understand how fastify valkey glide or @valkey/valkey glide can be used as a drop in replacement. Implement a new store class that uses the Valkey client's customCommand method instead of defineCommand.
