Add `d` as an alias for `doc`

I expected that this alias would already exist. `doc` feels to me like the other commands that currently have aliases. `build`, `check`, `run`, and `test` are all modes of using the existing repository, and are all things one might run at least somewhat frequently during development. There is no other built in cargo subcommand that starts with `d`, so this also has the virtue of being pretty unambiguous.
