patch for redis queue

* change order of fields in auth_data to match autoscaler for signature verification

* also ignore __request_id

* Revert "change order of fields in auth_data to match autoscaler for signature verification" so that it's alphabetical again

This reverts commit b8223879c9.

* enforce alphabetical json dumping of message for signature verification
