Add aliases to the output and add them in the system with a special kind: ALIAS.

This PR introduces major changes in the manner Documentable.expandName() processes the aliases.
Since we are now creating legit documentable object for every alias, the expandName() has to follow them.

See #313 for details.

TODO:

  • Refine the checks for variables being flagged as alias:
  • An instance variable should not be flagged as an alias
  • Should a attribute that is overridden be flagged as an alias?
  • Don’t create alias for constants like NotImplemented, simply create a Attribute
  • Ideally use better static analysis to determine if the attribute is assigned only once, in which case it’s considered as an alias, otherwise not.
  • Don’t create Documentables for variables that are not documented, instead create a new object type Alias that is not a documentable. Same for Imports.
  • 'Module.state' should not be flagged as an alias neither because it's actually a variable. But detecting it's usage is hard because we declare it as class variable and used as an instance variable.

…computing it from AST all the time.

Consider variables that are not on the root level as aliases, too. And warns only when they are actually overriden.

Move node2fullname to astutils module.

Delete overridenInCount from ClassPage since it was unused.

Re-export names that are not part of the current system with an alias.

Cleanup expandName() and associated.

Use directly taglink() in format_alias_value() when possible.

Add Documentable.aliases property. This is somewhat working in the tests but not always in real life.

Rename the redirected_from parameter to "indirections".

Speaking of tests, this commit also adds A LOT of new tests for the expandName() method.

Should undocumented aliases be shown in output ? I current implementation does, maybe we should think about it twice, because it cause create a lot of noise in the docs.
