use common npm abbreviations, fixes #435

[bronson]

Fixes #435

Also updated some tests to use the abbreviations where convenient.

[Alhadis]

Shouldn't info be added as an alias?

Homebrew uses it, and I'm constantly getting info mixed up with show or view...

[bronson]

(more than a year later...)

Sounds good, included.

[bronson]

Ha, sure. Added @Alhadis's suggestion and rebased to master.

[bronson]

Alas, it looks like CI on master is broken. The failure isn't related to this patch.

I would much prefer that new specs are added for the abbreviations, rather than changing the existing command names (e.g. install > i). This will ensure there are not regressions for the full command names.

[bronson]

Heh, maybe no tests needed? 94a730e

OK, the patch has been updated to just specify the abbreviations, not test them.

Agreed, it would be nice to have specs for the abbreviations. I don't see a way to do it that looks clean though... Best I came up with would be to write tests like this:

describe 'aliases for install', ->
  runs ->
    expect(apm.findCommand(['i'])).toBe Install

Which requires the following patch to apm-cli.coffee:

Can finish doing that if you think it's worth it.
