This cleans things up such CommandAlias essentially can work as its own object; the aliases still live in a separate map, but are now just full-fledged CommandObjectSPs
This patch also cleans up help generation for aliases, allows aliases to vend their own help, and adds a tweak such that "dash-dash aliases", such as po, don't show the list of options for their underlying command, since those can't be provided anyway
I plan to fix up a few more things here, and then add a test case and proclaim victory

The next step is to actually turn CommandAlias into a full-blown CommandObject citizen.
This is tricky given the current architecture of the CommandInterpreter but I think I have found a reasonable path forward.
The current plan is to make class CommandAlias : public CommandObject, and have all the several GetCommand calls not actually traverse through the alias to the underlying command object
The only times that an alias will be traversed are:
a) execution; when time comes to run an alias, I will just grab the underlying command and options, and make the interpreter execute that according to its current algorithm
b) subcommand traversal; if one has an alias to a multiword command, grabbing a subcommand will see through to the subcommand
Other operations, e.g. command listing, command names, command helps, ..., will all use the alias directly. This will, in turn, lead to the removal of the separate alias dictionary, and just mix user commands and aliases in one map
