Add the skeleton of an alias system, and provide a default for the most common case of booting a machine with a ramdisk sent via ZMODEM. With this change, the single command `zoxboot` will automatically receive a compressed ramdisk (either UFS or a cpio miniroot), expand it, mount it, load our kernel nucleus from it, and call the kernel's entry point. Tested on Garnet. Signed-off-by: Dan Cross <[email protected]>

This is a nice addition. I can't immediately think of any more aliases to add - this is by the most common sequence.
