configitems: add alias support in config Aliases define optional alternatives to existing options. For example the old option ui.user was deprecated and replaced by ui.username. With this mechanism, it's even possible to create an alias to an option in a different section. Add ui.user as alias to ui.username as an example of this concept. The old alternates principle in ui.config is removed as it was used only for this option.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
