Basic implementation of the feature is in the repository; probably going to
close this bug in a bit. Some follow up issues for polishing at the edges:

PR14279 - properly expand wildcards in stap -l and pn() (also affects pre-alias
suffix language features)
PR14310 - better error messages on recursive alias suffix expansion
PR14311 - always report alternatives & positions in probe point error messages
PR14312 - use alias suffixes in existing systemtap.examples
PR14313 - rewrite alias example in langref.tex

The first two bugs are, in my opinion, a prerequisite to any modification of
the alias suffix behaviour that allows a wildcard expansion to match both
*ordinary* probe points *and* suffixes (instead of only matching suffixes when
it can't find any ordinary probe points, as it does currently).
