[jboss-as7-dev] rename jboss-cli.sh?

[Stuart Douglas]

I don't think this is worth it. Any change like this at this point is 
going to break users existing scripts, for no real benefit.

I also don't really think that two tab completions are to many, and if 
someone is using it enough that it is an annoyance they can just create 
an alias anyway.
