Use a blocking connection pool in the async RedisCluster instead of managing connections synchronously

[juanamari94]

Version: redis-py version 4.4.0

Platform: N/A

Description:

Currently the async RedisCluster is managing its own connection pools (see here) which, unlike its synchronous RedisCluster counterpart which is managing its connections by using the implementations of the Connection Pools that are available (see here). We currently have a use case where we'd much prefer to be using blocking connection pools and would be happy to work on such a change for the async RedisCluster instance. We also believe that this change might potentially help solve #2497 .

Would you be open to receiving pull requests for this issue?

Thanks!

Any updates? We'd be more than happy to work on this implementation.
