Description

Referring to https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-connector-informix/issues/56

The Informix Connector is not part of the tooling.
It should be available by default so informix users can take the advantage of using loopback with their systems

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] when running `lb4 datasource`, the informix connectors show up as one of the available connectors.
- [ ] update [Connectors reference](https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/Connectors-reference.html) and any related files

Research direction

Start with the `lb4 datasource` command to see how available connectors are presented, then review the Connectors reference and related files. Confirm the Informix connector is listed by the command and update the documentation so the connector is covered; the linked connector issue may provide implementation context.
