Merge branch 'js/alias-early-config'

The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the
configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and
then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was
unnecessarilyl complex.  Attempt to simplify the logic by using the
early-config mechanism that does not chdir around.

  t1308: relax the test verifying that empty alias values are disallowed
