Nick, does Mach-O need symbol aliasing to be handled in the linker?

If ELF, Mach-O and COFF don't need to handle symbol aliasing in the linker,
I'd conclude symbol aliasing is not actually what need, and remove
isAlias() and such from DefinedAtom. And if that's the case (if we don't
need symbol aliasing in the linker), I think my original patch would make
more sense.
