AsyncRedisManager SSL Support
Is there a way to use SSL with the AsyncRedisManager?  This is possible with RedisManager by passing in a "rediss" scheme instead of a "redis" scheme, but I don't see a way to do it with the Async manager.

I have sort of patched in a way to do this just by adding an "ssl" option to `AsyncRedisManager.__init__()`, then passing it through to `aioredis.create_redis()` in `_publish` and `_listen`.  Happy to do a pull request if that's the right way to do this.
