Ability to define descriptions in aliases file

[pflannery]

Would be nice to have the ability to put descriptions with the aliases declared in the aliases file.

Perhaps we can change this segment to something like this:

  if (aliases) {
    for (var taskName in aliases) {
        var task = aliases[taskName];
        if (typeof task === 'string' || Array.isArray(task))
            grunt.registerTask(taskName, aliases[taskName]);
        else {
            grunt.registerTask(taskName, task.description, task.aliases);
        }
    }
  }

that way aliases can be like this:

{
    //================
    "default": [ 
        "compile"
    ],
    //================
    "compile": { 
        description: "some description",
        tasks: [
            "shell:someCompile"
        ]
    },
    //================
    "watch": [ 
        "shell:someWatch"
    ]
}
