Describe the bug
When using RedisFailoverClientOpt to take advantage of automatic failover, the tasks that are in-progress when the failover happens don't get removed from in-progress.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (Code snippets if applicable):

Enqueue tasks (e.g. 100 tasks)
Start Background with RedisFailoverClientOpt
Disable redis master with redis-cli -p <port> DEBUG sleep 30 while some tasks are in progress.
After the failover, the Background will resume processing tasks, but the tasks that were in-progress never get removed from the asynq:in_progress list in redis.

Expected behavior
Upon successful failover, the tasks that were in-progress should be removed from the asynq:in_progress LIST

Environment (please complete the following information):

OS: MacOS
Version of asynq package: v0.1.0
