Fixed #27719 -- Added QuerySet.alias() to allow creating reusable aliases.

QuerySet.alias() allows creating reusable aliases for expressions that
don't need to be selected but are used for filtering, ordering, or as
a part of complex expressions.

Thanks Simon Charette for reviews.

``alias()``
~~~~~~~~~~~
.. method:: alias(*args, **kwargs)
.. versionadded:: 3.2
Same as :meth:`annotate`, but instead of annotating objects in the
``QuerySet``, saves the expression for later reuse with other ``QuerySet``
methods. This is useful when the result of the expression itself is not needed
but it is used for filtering, ordering, or as a part of a complex expression.
Not selecting the unused value removes redundant work from the database which
should result in better performance.
For example, if you want to find blogs with more than 5 entries, but are not
interested in the exact number of entries, you could do this::
>>> from django.db.models import Count
>>> blogs = Blog.objects.alias(entries=Count('entry')).filter(entries__gt=5)
``alias()`` can be used in conjunction with :meth:`annotate`, :meth:`exclude`,
:meth:`filter`, :meth:`order_by`, and :meth:`update`. To use aliased expression
with other methods (e.g. :meth:`aggregate`), you must promote it to an
annotation::
Blog.objects.alias(entries=Count('entry')).annotate(
entries=F('entries'),
).aggregate(Sum('entries'))
:meth:`filter` and :meth:`order_by` can take expressions directly, but
expression construction and usage often does not happen in the same place (for
example, ``QuerySet`` method creates expressions, for later use in views).
``alias()`` allows building complex expressions incrementally, possibly
spanning multiple methods and modules, refer to the expression parts by their
aliases and only use :meth:`annotate` for the final result.
