Dodji Seketeli fe9fa7a05f Support filtering out just one alias of a function
Suppose a function private_foo() has a symbol private_foo and also a
another one (an alias) named public_foo.  Then suppose we want to
filter out sub-type changes to private_foo().  But then we still want
to see changes to public_foo.

This patch does add this feature.  The [suppress_function] directive
now has a new (hidden) boolean 'allow_other_aliases' property.  When
set to 'yes' or 'true', if the function being looked at has an alias
symbol that does *NOT* match the other properties of the directive,
then the directive doesn't suppress reports for the function.  This
new  property is set to yes by default.

This means that when a function has got multiple aliases, to suppress
the function, one needs to write a regular expression that matches the
names of aliases.  Otherwise the function will not be suppressed.

	* include/abg-comparison.h (function_suppression::{get,
	set}_allow_other_aliases): Declare new member functions.
	* src/abg-comparison.cc
	(function_suppression::priv::allow_other_aliases_): New data
	member.
	(function_suppression::priv::priv): Initialize it to 'true'.
	(function_suppression::{get, set}_allow_other_aliases): Define new
	member functions.
	(read_function_suppression): Parse the new "allow_other_aliases"
	property.
	(function_suppression::suppresses_function): Update to evaluate
	the new 'allow_other_aliases' property when there is a property to
	match against some a symbol name of the function.
	(corpus_diff::report): Fix the printing of function aliases when
	printing sub-type changes to properly emit the plural of the word
	'symbol' when the function has several aliases.
	* include/abg-ir.h (elf_symbol::get_number_of_aliases): Declare
	new member function.
	* src/abg-ir.cc (elf_symbol::get_number_of_aliases): Define new
	member function.
	* doc/manuals/libabigail-concepts.rst: Update manual.
	* tests/data/test-diff-dwarf/test5-report.txt: Adjust.
	* tests/data/test-diff-suppr/libtest23-alias-filter-v0.so: New
	test input.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
Instrumentation Library.

It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
ABI-relevant artifacts.

The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
called an ABI corpus.

This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to comparing
two ABI Corpuses, provide detailed information about their
differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions
about these differences.

You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files
