[#827] Remove support for AliasHint

Nikolay Yakimov requested to merge lierdakil/#827-remove-alias-hints into master

Description

Problem: we came to a conclusion alias hints aren't exactly useful, while complicating the code base quite a bit.

Solution: Remove 'AliasHint' and alias prefixing facilities, remove guards against mixing aliases and hints, rename some functions mentioning alias hints.
