Add common aliases for add/create remove/delete/rm in the CLI

[stgraber]

The CLI is designed to be pretty consistent in the naming of its main actions.

Objects where user data is important will normally be created through create and deleted through delete. Delete actions usually imply data being lost.

Lighter weight objects, such as relations between objects or entries within a larger object are usually added through add and removed through remove.

We don't really want to change that behavior, but it would still be quite useful to those without a full mapping of all our commands in their mind to find what they want without having to rely on the help :)

For that reason, we should make sure that:

• All create commands have a add alias
• All add commands have a create alias
• All remove commands have both rm and delete aliases
• All delete commands have both rm and remove aliases

Aliases aren't listed in the help, so this will be basically invisible other than reducing the number of errors that our users run into.

Aliases aren't listed in the help

btw they are listed in cli completion generator. I recall having to remove a lot of aliases I had configured, because they made tab completion very messy... not sure the right answer here, but something to consider

@smemsh so there is a difference between a command alias in cobra and an alias that's defined through incus alias.

We already have command aliases defined throughout the codebase so I don't think that's usually a problem. But you're correct that those defined by the user through incus alias do show up in the shell completion profile.

Hi! I'm a student at UT Austin currently taking a virtualization course – would it be alright if I took up this issue and began working on it? I'll be working with @kmxtn and @joecwilson.

Sounds good, I assigned it to you!

I can add the other two as soon as they have posted a comment of their own in there, Github doesn't allow us to assign issues to those who haven't interacted with it yet.

Thanks for your assistance !
