"ERR invalid password" when creating a RedisURI with a username

[jsiebens]

When deploying an application to Heroku with the Heroku Redis addon, a Redis URI with a username is provided. Eg: redis://h:@<...>.compute-1.amazonaws.com:14589
This results in an "ERR invalid password" error because the username is not correctly stripped from the password.

Please not that Redis authentication is based only on passwords. Passing passwords within URL's is supported but it misses somehow the point since the URI UserInfo syntax is USER:PASSWORD. Passwords with special chars such as : and @ cannot be used because they conflict to the URI syntax.
