ConfigParser lowercases all config keys, so bridge.Public is stored as
bridge.public in channel_webhooks. The test assertions expected title-case
"Public" but the actual stored key is "public". Runtime channel matching
was already case-insensitive; only the test expectations needed updating.
Each command's aliases are now configured as an `aliases` key in its own
config section (e.g. [Wx_Command] aliases = !weather, !w) rather than a
separate [Aliases] section. BaseCommand._load_aliases_from_config() reads
and injects them into keywords at startup. CommandManager.load_aliases()
and _apply_aliases() are removed. No behaviour change for commands without
aliases configured.
