Title: Add support for aliases in locations

An alias can be specified for a location using alias_root instead of
www_root. Aliases in nginx are similar to root directives except that
the part of the request that matches the location is stripped when
creating the path to file. See
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#alias for an example.
