aliasmgr: new data store containing our, peer's aliases
This introduces the a store for managing all things alias-related.

There are two maps:

* baseToSet:
  This stores the "base" short channel id as the key. The value is
  the set of all aliases issued for this channel. The "base" SCID is
  whatever is stored in the OpenChannel's ShortChannelID member. For
  everything other than zero-conf channels, this is the confirmed SCID.
  For zero-conf channels, this is the very first alias assigned. This is
  used mostly by the Switch to retrieve a set of aliases and determine
  if it is safe to forward.

* aliasToBase:
  This stores the reverse mapping of baseToSet. Each key is an alias
  SCID and the value is the "base" SCID. This is exclusively used by
  the gossiper to determine if an alias in a ChannelUpdate our peer
  sends actually references a channel we know of.

The functions make use of the above two maps:

* AddLocalAlias:
  This persists the {alias, base} pair in the database. The baseToSet
  map is populated. The aliasToBase is optionally populated depending on
  where this function is called from. Upgrade cases, where the
  scid-alias feature bit is toggled and channels already exist, will
  not persist to the gossip map. This is mainly to simplify the tangle
  of logic that would otherwise occur.

* GetAliases:
  This fetches the set of aliases by using the passed-in base SCID. This
  is used in the Switch and other places where the alias set is needed.

* FindBaseSCID:
  This fetches the base given an alias. This is used in the gossiper to
  determine validity of a peer's ChannelUpdate that contains an alias.

* DeleteSixConfs:
  This removes the aliasToBase map entry for the given "base". This is
  used when the gossiper mappings are no longer needed, i.e. when the
  channel has six confirmations and is public.

* PutPeerAlias:
  Stores the peer's alias.

* GetPeerAlias:
  Fetches the peer's alias.

* RequestAlias:
  Generates an alias for us in the range 16000000:0:0 and
  16250000:16777215:65535
