Support remove argument as an alias for uninstall

[gdubicki]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives plus RedHat and its derivatives, which are the most popular Linux distributions, are using package managers (apt, yum/dnf) that support remove as the name of the argument for uninstalling packages. It's the same case for macOS' homebrew.

As the muscle memory for users of these systems suggests to use remove also for pip, they always stumble upon an error that it's an unsupported command. :(

Describe the solution you'd like

Let's introduce aliases for pip commands. Then remove could be added as an alias for uninstall.

Alternative Solutions

I am trying to remember that "pip is different" and requires an "uninstall" argument but although I am aware of the problem, I still sometimes fail...

I don't see non-ultra-hacky alternatives here.

Additional context

I know that There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it, but also (...) practicality beats purity...
