 I think it would be helpful to send the `wp_using_ext_object_cache()`
 value as part of the update requests.
 We already send the list of installed PHP extensions, so it's possible to
 know whether e.g. redis or memcached are installed, but not if they are
 actually used.

 Ideally we would also know the exact type of object cache that is being
 used (e.g. if it's actually redis or memcached or something else). That
 would be also very useful for the `wp cache type` command,
 [https://github.com/wp-cli/cache-command/issues/68#issuecomment-1433755427
 as suggested here].
 This could be done via `WP_Object_Cache::get_type()` and a
 `wp_cache_type()` function for example.
