It is possible to provide (hidden) aliases for subcommands currently, but not for regular arguments. When you have a program that needs to rename an argument it would be useful to have the ability to provide hidden aliases for it.

feat(arg_aliases): Ability to alias arguments
cdd4e1d 
There are some cases where you need to have an argument to have an
alias, an example could be when you depricate one option in favor of
another one.

Now you are going to be able to alias arguments as follows:
```
Arg::with_name("opt")
    .long("opt")
    .short("o")
    .takes_value(true)
    .alias("invisible")
    .visible_alias("visible")
```

Closes clap-rs#669

Also you can alias flags as follow:
```rust
Arg::with_name("flg")
    .long("flag")
    .short("f")
    .alias("not_visible_flag")
    .visible_alias("awesome_v_flag")
```
