Update deps/README.md.

* We patch hiredis rather than rely on having a compatible sds version.
* We now have better test coverage for redis-cli and redis-benchmark.

Hiredis
---
Hiredis uses the SDS string library, that must be the same version used inside Redis itself. Hiredis is also very critical for Sentinel. Historically Redis often used forked versions of hiredis in a way or the other. In order to upgrade it is advised to take a lot of care:
1. Check with diff if hiredis API changed and what impact it could have in Redis.
2. Make sure that the SDS library inside Hiredis and inside Redis are compatible.
3. After the upgrade, run the Redis Sentinel test.
4. Check manually that redis-cli and redis-benchmark behave as expected, since we have no tests for CLI utilities currently.
Hiredis is used by Sentinel, `redis-cli` and `redis-benchmark`. Like Redis, uses the SDS string library, but not necessarily the same version. In order to avoid conflicts, this version has all SDS identifiers prefixed by `hi`.
