This gem allows Sidekiq jobs to be throttled. Unfortunately, it has a
side-effect: when we haven't enabled job throttling, it will still hit Redis a
lot (and miss, because nothing is configured).

As this setting already required a restart, ensure that the library is only
required when it's enabled.
