Issue:
Support aliases deeper than top level, e.g. `gh pr co`
### Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I type `gh pr checkout` _many_ times a day. Typing `checkout` is long. I have shell aliases for `git checkout`: `gco`. That muscle memory could carry over to `gh pr checkout` too, with the `gh pr co` command alias.

I'd like to think that this affects many people using `gh pr checkout`: not just me. But I've not done any research to verify that thought.

### Proposed solution

Add an [alias](https://godoc.org/github.com/spf13/cobra#Command) for `co` to the `pr_checkout` command.

I considered some alternatives, like the existing tab completions. While they do work as intended, `gh pr c<tab><tab>` and `gh pr ch<tab>` take three keypresses, and are different from the "usual" `co` abbreviation for `checkout`.

I've got the change ready to go locally - but as per the contributing guide, I'm submitting an issue first to see if there's an appetite for this!

### Additional context

Thanks for building the `gh` tool!


Hints from issue comments:
@mislav: Hi, thanks for explaining how you're using gh! 

Would it be an option for you to create a gh alias for `pr checkout`? E.g.
```
$ gh alias set co 'pr checkout'
$ gh co 123
```

In fact, I believe that we ship with this alias as default for new users who are installing GitHub CLI.@issyl0: `gh alias set co 'pr checkout'` works - thanks, @mislav. I didn't realise `alias set` was a thing. 😳

I did try out `gh alias set 'pr co' 'pr checkout'`, which doesn't seem to work. But I understand that keeping the `pr` namespacing is perhaps not the preferred way (even though it makes more sense to me as `co` operates on PRs in this case).@mislav: @issyl0 You're right, right now aliases are only supported at "top-level" and not nested under a command such as `pr`. We could potentially support nested ones too, but I don't see why someone would create a 2-word alias when they can create a 1-word one.

Do you feel that this can be closed or that we should keep it open as a feature request?@issyl0: Thanks for your responses. This is fine to close. If `gh co` still seems weird in a week or two, I can keep my local change to support `gh pr co`.@pataquets: Same here. In my usage case, I've tried to define `gh issue mine` as `issue list --author pataquets`﻿. Ended up implementing it as `issue.mine`, but supporting deeper aliases would open some meaningful shortcuts for common switches as described.
@mislav: I would like to ask this issue to be left open to keep track of it, in case sometime in the future it could be implemented, although I understand it might not be a priority now.
@mislav: That's a good point! Reopening@mathieutu: The same here.
I was trying to add `gh pr browse` for ` pr view -w` like we have `gh browse`.@cravend: Just wanted to drop my use-case in this issue (I didn't see it when I opened my own!).

I have `gh go` aliased to `gh repo view --web`, but I'd like to extend that to other commands (e.g. `gh pr go` for `gh pr view --web`). I could do something like `gh prgo` (one word) but it's more natural to me to think of `go` = `view --web`.

@koppor: Is this the place to ask for `gh pr co {num}` out of the box.

In the default setting one needs to omit `pr`, which is confusing (because it is not consistent why one needs to write `checkout` in one place and `co` in another place although both terms have the same effect)

```bash
$ gh pr co 13280
unknown command "co" for "gh pr"
$ gh co 13280
remote: Enumerating objects: 178, done.
```@BagToad: @koppor I'd say you should make a new issue for that. We could always add new default aliases, but need to discuss it.
