[PATCH 2/7] gdb: don't handle old == nullptr in add_alias_cmd

I don't think this can ever happen, that we add an alias command and
pass a nullptr old (target) command.  Remove the "if" handling this,
replace with an assert.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* cli/cli-decode.c (add_alias_cmd): Don't handle old == 0.
