Improve the command-installed function by supporting more types of command installations, particularly aliases and package bundles/libraries.
Why?
There are managed packages (omz, nvm, moreutils) that command-installed currently, incorrectly, returns false.
What should happen?
This is not a bug because we handle it in different ways right now, but they are bespoke workarounds.
command-installed needs to support different package installations, this is probably most easily done by importing aliases then testing for them, using the package managers themselves, using command -v, and using which and ||ing the result.
