Title: Pear channel reader

Refactored PEAR channel reader. Separated channel read and package creation logic.

Removed expensive foreign channel alias lookup. (When foreign channel is not available - its packages cannot be resolved to successful installation).

Allowed user defined aliases for private pear channels, that will supports smoothier migration pear => composer. (It is hard to change package name when half of projects knows it as 'pear-me/project' and other half as 'me/project')
