Bug Description
Implement a way to assign aliases to pages so we can open the same page by multiple names. From the user point of view this should work the same as a redirect in e.g. wikipedia.
The implementation should be that we store the aliases as properties of the page were they redirect. The cache should take care of keeping track of aliases in an efficient way. If a page of the same name as the alias already exists this page will take precedence, so only check aliases after checking for an existing page. Aliases follow the same semantics as normal links, so it should be possible to alias within the same namespace or to another namespace by relative or absolute page paths. In fact for all practical purposes aliases are a kind of special backlink from the alias to the target page.

Note: Make sure aliases are taken into account for auto-linking etc. see discussion in bug #601055
