ref-manual, dev-manual: Removed information about package name alias.
The section on "Handling a Package Name Alias" was confusing and
wrong. We decided to eliminate it. The section was removed from
the dev-manual. The corresponding variable DISTRO_PN_ALIAS
remains for now but without the cross-reference link to the
now missing section.
