This PR was merged into the master branch.

Allow to overwrite pre-defined aliases using addAliases()

Currently pre-defined aliases (used by `vue` and `preact-compat`) are added after the ones from `Encore.addAliases(...)`, which prevents overwriting them using this method.

It makes more sense to change that order so aliases from `Encore.addAliases(...)` are always added last (fixes #625).
