Xavier Delaruelle 9cec56c027 Revise alias and symbolic version internal registering
Register alias and symbolic version deep resolution at definition time
through a new 'setModuleResolution' procedure called by 'module-version'
and 'module-alias' procedures. Make use of new global array
'g_moduleResolved' and its reverse structure 'g_resolvedHash' to keep
registered resolution at hand. Also introduce 'g_symbolHash' global
array to register and easily get the list of all symbols for a given
module.

As resolution is now computed at definition time, the 'getVersAliasList'
and 'resolveModuleVersionOrAlias' procedures can be greatly simplified
and just need to return the value of the 'g_symbolHash' or
'g_moduleResolved' arrays for the module name passed as argument. This
change saves lot of time especially on commands heavily relying on these
procedures like 'avail'.

The global arrays 'g_versionHash', 'g_moduleDefault' and 'g_aliasHash'
become useless with this change so they have been removed.

As a side effect of resolving alias and symbolic version at definition
time, resolution loop are not registered anymore and produce an error
message when spotted.
