Add alias "dependencies" for action "deps"

Description

A given port may have dependencies and dependents.

MacPorts supports two actions: "deps" (which queries for dependencies) and "dependents".

Given that the shorthand "deps" is ambiguous (it could easily mean either dependencies or dependents), it would be reasonable to support the action "dependencies" as an alias for "deps".

This would be a backwards-compatible change, but would remove the need for the user to guess which dep* action is meant by "deps". The same change should be made for rdeps/rdependencies.
