The alias was introduced here:

commit bba50f8a9e697263139b19872ee0cc8f0e46b317
Author:     Richard M. Stallman <rms@gnu.org>
AuthorDate: Fri Dec 23 01:34:27 2005 +0000

    (customize-changed-options-previous-release): Prev release is 21.1.
    (customize-changed-options): Doc fix.
    (customize-changed): New alias.

And the doc string for customize-changed-options was changed to reflect
what it does, i.e., what you'd expect `customize-changed' to do.

This is kinda backwards, so I've now flipped this, and made
`customize-changed-options' an obsolete alias.  We could consider adding
a new `customize-changed-options' command that just list user options,
but it doesn't really seem that useful.
