Allow user to add completion for powershell alias

Browse source 
When a user has an alias in powershell, she will need to register that
alias for completion.  To make that possible, we store the completion
logic into a scriptblock variable which can easily be accessed by the
user to register aliases.

For example, if the user defines an alias for `helm`:
   PS> sal h helm
she will need to register the alias like so:
   PS> Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName 'h' -ScriptBlock $__helmCompleterBlock

### Aliases
You can also configure `powershell` aliases for your program and they will also support completions.
```
$ sal aliasname origcommand
$ Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName 'aliasname' -ScriptBlock $__origcommandCompleterBlock
# and now when you run `aliasname` completion will make
# suggestions as it did for `origcommand`.
$ aliasname <tab>
completion firstcommand secondcommand
```
The name of the completer block variable is of the form `$__<programName>CompleterBlock` where every `-` and `:` in the program name have been replaced with `_`, to respect powershell naming syntax.
