For #13823 I'd like strictness options to have a consistent strict_foo naming scheme, however the option xfail_strict has it in reverse. I'd like to rename it to strict_xfail, while keeping xfail_strict as an alias.
To achieve this cleanly, I propose we add support for aliases to parser.addini(). It's pretty useful functionality for backward compatibility, and plugins may want to use it as well.
