Can we add an aliases field, that allows crate owners to specify aliases for the binary? For example:

# my_crate/Cargo.toml
[package.metadata.binstall]
aliases = ["mcr"]

Would install my_crate binary, and generate a symbolic link mcr pointingto that binary.

Related: rust - Is it possible to set aliases for a produced binary target?

Yes, I am willing to accept a PR for that!
