Incorrect information about redis-cli #2

Description

Which topic are you reporting about?

https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/databases-for-redis?topic=databases-for-redis-connecting-cli-client states: redis-cli is the official supported command-line interface for Redis. Unfortunately, it does not support TLS connections.

This is not the case. At least with version 8.x of the redis-cli command.

Presumably, because of the lack of TLS support in redis-cli IBM created a new command line tool, redli to provide this support and the use of redli is documented on the page, etc. This reads very complex and isn't needed -- just tell the user to use a version of the official redis-cli tool that is compatible.

Example demonstrating that redis-cli works:

~/dev/jdux-cn-ai/redis-test $ redis-cli -u rediss://ibm_cloud_6e2c598b_29ea_4688_8797_d88f89f4d127:v2nH05oYK4l7EdmTLNWLdhAcKFbWumEd@2226619d-57a3-4d0b-96fc-af75fa65c020.8117147f814b4b2ea643610826cd2046.databases.appdomain.cloud:30851/0 --tls --cacert ./cert.crt

~/dev/jdux-cn-ai/redis-test $ redis-cli --version
redis-cli 8.0.1

What do you think needs to be updated?

The page should be rewritten to allow for the use of redis-cli, the official Redis CLI tool. Development should make the decision on whether redli even needs to be supported in the IBM Cloud CLI plugin going forward, etc.

Anything else?
