This is a fix to output aliased symbols when generating documentation. I've tried to make the output look nice but at the same time semantically valid.
I've implemented the prettyPrintDsymbol function for better pretty printing because calling toPrettyChars will print the module name together with the symbol name and in most cases this creates a very noisy output. Instead toPrettyChars is only used when the aliased symbol is from another module, since this is required to output aliases like this:
Which is better than just
deprecated alias vendor vendorsince that is ambiguous to the reader.
