We currently lack a way to provide instruction aliases. Supporting them is a
complex task, requiring at least these steps
(https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1068#c42):

1) define the aliases format
2) define a *database* format for them and implement them in insndb
3) add aliases in pypowersim
4) UNIT TESTS for aliased instructions in openpower-isa and FINALLY - ONLY
THEN:
5) adding binutils support for the same aliases AND THEN
6) add unit tests for the same aliases in binutils AND THEN
7) run the same unit tests for openpower-isa but using binutils
