Disables read queries for a connection to a Redis Cluster replica node.

Read queries against a Redis Cluster replica node are disabled by default,
but you can use the [`READONLY`]({{< relref "/commands/readonly" >}}) command to change this behavior on a per-
connection basis. The `READWRITE` command resets the readonly mode flag
of a connection back to readwrite.
