Missing connection autocommit documentation

See original GitHub issue

It is unclear at the moment whether autocommit can be turned on on a given connection. From https://github.com/aws/amazon-redshift-python-driver/blob/master/redshift_connector/core.py#L417 it seems that it should be possible by setting connection.autocommit = True, but it is unclear if this would work as expected. It would be great to document this.

Hey @GergelyKalmar ,

Thanks for reporting this issue – we will add some documentation regarding auto commit in our next release. By default connection.autocommit is set to False per PEP-249 ref

Setting connection.autocommit to True does indeed enable autocommit.
