bug#7855: 24.0.50; imenu support for defalias

[Drew Adams]

Enhancement request -
 
Would it be possible to have Imenu treat defalias as a function
definition (like defun, defun*, defmacro, etc.)?
 
I'm guessing that it might be a little tricky since the first arg is
evaluated (it is typically a quoted symbol).  But if feasible it would
be helpful.

I've now added this to Emacs 29 (along with
define-obsolete-function-alias).
