[PATCH] D38171: Implement clang-tidy check aliases.

On a somewhat related  note, since this is already talking about aliases

I feel like the current handling of the clang-tidy check aliases needs adjusting.
If one enables all the checks (`Checks: '*'`), and then disables some of them
on check-by-check basis, if the disabled check has aliases
(`cppcoreguidelines-pro-type-vararg` vs `hicpp-vararg`, `hicpp-no-array-decay`
vs `cppcoreguidelines-pro-bounds-array-to-pointer-decay` and so on)
each of the aliases must be explicitly be disabled too.

This is rather inconvenient.

If that is intentional, perhaps there could be a config option to either disable
creation/registration of the check aliases altogether, or an option to threat
aliases as a hard link, so anything happening to any of the aliases/base check
would happen to all of them.

(Also, if the check has parameters, and one specifies different parameters for the base check, and the aliases, what happens?)
