Issue #1704: Fix alias provider argument passing

The way arguments are passed by the alias provider is not compatible
with all rebar providers/commands. Especially the release (relx)
provider does not like getting its arguments as a plain string. It
expects its arguments in a pre-parsed format as returned by
getopt:parse/2.

Other commands, e.g. eunit, seem to be fine with both ways of argument
passing. Therefore, this fix changes the alias provider argument passing
to the getopt format in general.

find_apps didn't read config files so no hooks were in the app_infos,
and now that hooks are being done rebar needs plugins to be able
to run clean plugin hooks in deps.

Fix repeated bootstrap runs

Fix escriptize failure when ebin/ has subdirs

Although fairly irregular, the presence of a subdirectory in ebin/ while
running rebar3 escriptize would crash the run and generate a dump.

Since ebin subdirectories are generally not supported (adding a path for
an application only adds ebin/ and no subdirectories to the VM's path
set), we just silently ignore the directory altogether.

Fixes #1693

Updating the bootstrap script in #1689 made it so symlinks that already
exist return `exist` rather than ok, in line with the regular code.
However the bootstrap module wouldn't handle this case.

This fixes the problem by ensuring that `exists` is as valid as `ok`.

Update bootstrap script // fix windows issues

Update manpages

The bootstrap script has been mostly unchanged for a long period of
time, and has not benefited from all the changes and improvements that
rebar3 itself had, including (but not limited to) path escaping,
handling of directories on windows, and edge case management when it
comes to file and symlink handling.

This patch brings the updates seen in rebar_string_utils, rebar_utils,
and rebar_dir into the bootstrap script so that fewer people have build
issues when starting from source, from scratch.

New switches for cover, adding the alias provider, etc.

Prevent plugin unloading from killing currently running command (soft-purge in-compile)

Rather than the caller having to think of what to purge or not, use
erlang:check_process_code/2 to detect if the caller (rebar3) may die
because of the operation.

If so, do a soft purge with a conditional delete instead of a hard purge
with a mandatory delete.

Prevents the killing of a plugin with itself

Alias plugin promoted to built-in command

- Uses the code at https://github.com/tsloughter/rebar_alias and brings
  it within rebar3
- adds safety checks to prevent redefining built-in commands or obvious
  circular dependencies between commands (indirect circular deps are
  still possible)
- adds tests
- adds a systest to ensure no clash with the existing plugin
