[Feature request] Set command aliases in conf file

[plshelpidkwhatimdoing]

Could the ability to set command aliases in the conf file be added?

(I wouldn't exactly say this is a high priority request, it's more just a QOL feature)

Aliases could be set like this

{
    "aliases": {
        "--write-info-json": "-wi",
        "--write-metadata": "-wm",
        "--config-ignore": "-ci"
    },
    <rest of conf>
}

I'm not sure I want to implement configurable aliases for command-line arguments. Sounds a lot more complicated than it's worth, given how they are currently handled.

You can, however, already set aliases for post processors and then use -P to activate them:

{
    "postprocessor": {
        "wi": {
            "name"    : "metadata",
            "event"   : "init",
            "filename": "info.json"
        },
        "wm": {
            "name": "metadata"
        }
    },
    "": "<rest of conf>"
}

-Pwi would then be equivalent to --write-info-json, -Pwm to --write-metadata.

Shell aliases are a thing to consider as well.
