Add the possibility to ignore arguments in alliases (#9199)
* Replace ";" with "\n" in alias-generated functions

This can let us add a "#" in our aliases to make
them ignore additional arguments.

* Update changelog about aliases that ignore arguments

* Update test for alias.fish

This is now compliant with the aliases that can
ignore arguments.
