Alternative names for console command options

[bschmalhofer]

It would be nice if alternative option names could be specified in console commands. An useful example would be the alias 'v' for the option 'verbose'.

Tested by setting up an alternative name:

 git diff

     );
     $Self->AddArgument(
         Name        => 'source-path',

So that the command bin/otobo.Console.pl Dev::Package::Build --version 0.0.7 --dir ../ticketicalintegration ../ticketicalintegration/TicketIcalIntegration.sopm var/opm works.

PR is merged. Closing this issue.
