Unsupported features for Command Line Interface (CLI)

Please change the

Specify controller setup in xml 

to

Connection controller aliases in jboss-cli.xml

I am aware that https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1018607 was used as a source of a text, but without the jira link it may be confusing as it gives impression that none of controller configuration in jboss-cli.xml is supported which is not true as default-controller is always placed there.
