Now that all aliases are defined using SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(), remove the old
SYM_FUNC_{START,END}_ALIAS() macros.

-* ``SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS`` and ``SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS`` are deprecated
- ways to define two or more names for one function. The typical use is::

- SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(__memset)
- SYM_FUNC_START(memset)
- ... asm insns ...
- SYM_FUNC_END(memset)
- SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(__memset)

* ``SYM_CODE_START`` and ``SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL`` should be used only in

for interrupt handlers and similar where the calling convention is not the C
