2. Merge pull request #186 from micolous/aliases …

   Add aliases that are less verbose.
   
   > All the command interface is really verbose.
   > 
   > It's really annoying doing testing and typing `video_matrix connect input0
   > output0` a few dozen times.  There should be a better way.
   > 
   > Instead of an elaborate Cisco IOS-style shortcode system, this is a really
   > simple one which just aliases many commands to 1-character versions.
   > 
   > So instead of `video_matrix connect input0 output0`, you can write `x c 0 0`.
   > The difference between `input0` and `output0` are inferred by the position of
   > the argument, and the ports are unidirectional, so this is all implicit.
   > 
   > There are similar aliases added in the command interface, which are all
   > documented in the help strings.
   > 
   > We don't have any `inputX` commands, only `outputX`, so the outputs get the
   > `X` commands (eg: `output0 off` -> `0 off`).
   > 
   > It's not known what effect NetworkManager and GPSd have on this interface.
   > But it's not like these daemons don't already stomp on all serial devices in
   > order to auto-detect something they might want.
