Summary:  Rearrange which commands are considered `aliases'

Original Submission:  For some commands that have aliases, this patch swaps 
which is listed as the `primary' command, and which is called an alias.  It 
should have no user-visible effect, except for the output of `tla help'.

For instance, it changes:

   cmtrev : archive a changeset-based revision
   commit : (alias for cmtrev)

to:

   commit : archive a changeset-based revision
   cmtrev : (alias for commit)

I based this change on what I observed to be the most-used command-name forms 
in the tutorials and mailing list discussion; in general, people seem to 
overwhelmingly prefer the non-`rev' forms, and the non-`-tag' forms.

If this patch is applied, a later patch could change the underlying 
function/file names to match, with an eye toward deprecating the older forms.
