Title: Make Hedis the recommended Haskell client

Hi,

(disclaimer: I am the author of Hedis)

please accept my patch to make Hedis the recommended Haskell client for the following reasons:

* Hedis is the only maintained client for Haskell. On Hackage, the Haskell package database, there are currently two other Redis clients ("redis" and "redis-hs") but both are no longer maintained. In fact the author of the "redis" client now [recommends Hedis](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/redis).

* Hedis has integration packages with the two major Haskell web frameworks, [Snap](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/snaplet-redis) and [Yesod](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wai-middleware-cache-redis).

* Hedis supports the [entire Redis 2.6 API](http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/hedis/0.6.1/doc/html/Database-Redis.html) (except MONITOR, SYNC, SHUTDOWN, DEBUG SEGFAULT).

* Hedis is quite fast.

Thanks for all your work on Redis!
