This new option allows to remove type aliases that match a regular expression.
Fixes: #2256
Note: This differs from
--opaque-type
by being just a cosmetic option in the sense that the lhs of aliases are replaced everywhere by their rhs, no binary blobs are emitted to replace types anywhere. It is not possible to remove a non-alias type item using this option either. This option works by removing type aliases from the resulting bindings instead of avoid creating them in the first place.
