Add aliases to Kamal

Aliases are defined in the configuration file under the `aliases` key.

The configuration is a map of alias name to command. When we run the
command the we just do a literal replacement of the alias with the
string.

So if we have:

```yaml
aliases:
  console: app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console"
```

Then running `kamal console -r workers` will run the command

```sh
$ kamal app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console" -r workers
```

Because of the order Thor parses the arguments, this allows us to
override the role from the alias command.

There might be cases where we need to munge the command a bit more but
that would involve getting into Thor command parsing internals,
which are complicated and possibly subject to change.

There's a chance that your aliases could conflict with future built-in
commands, but there's not likely to be many of those and if it happens
you'll get a validation error when you upgrade.

Thanks to @dhnaranjo for the idea!

# Aliases
#
# Aliases are shortcuts for Kamal commands.
#
# For example, for a Rails app, you might open a console with:
#
# ```shell
# kamal app exec -i -r console "rails console"
# ```
#
# By defining an alias, like this:
aliases:
console: app exec -r console -i "rails console"
# You can now open the console with:
# ```shell
# kamal console
# ```
# Configuring aliases
#
# Aliases are defined in the root config under the alias key
#
# Each alias is named and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.
aliases:
uname: app exec -p -q -r web "uname -a"
