alias: make alias command lazily resolved

With many aliases, resolving them could have some visible overhead. Below is
part of traceprof [1] output of `hg bookmark --hidden`:

  (time unit: ms)
  37  \ addaliases                             dispatch.py:526
  37   | __init__ (60 times)                   dispatch.py:402
  33   | findcmd (108 times)                   cmdutil.py:721
  16   | findpossible (49 times)               cmdutil.py:683

It may get better by optimizing `findcmd` to do a bisect, but we don't
really need to resolve an alias if it's not used, so let's make those
command entries lazy.

After this patch, `addalias` takes less than 1ms.

.. perf:: improved performance when many aliases are defined
