Authors of Emacs packages often derive from an alias of a mode instead
of the mode directly.  This is especially the case when deriving from
'prog-mode' as it is relatively new.  Unfortunately, using
'derived-mode-p' to check if some mode is derived from an alias of
'prog-mode' does not work as expected.  The bug is that
'provided-mode-derived-p' should not only return non-nil when MODE is
one of MODES, but also when MODE is an alias of one of MODES.
* lisp/subr.el (provided-mode-derived-p):
Return non-nil when MODE is an alias of any of MODES (Bug#32795).
* test/lisp/subr-tests.el: Add tests for the above.
