[request] -l should alias to seance

[xkortex]

As a dyed-in-black goth, I absolutely love the terminology of the rip flags/commands. But my muscle memory with most coreutils is that if a tool has something approximating list things, it should do that with a -l. Since seance only lists things in the context dir, -l ought to list the contents of the graveyard. I just can't think of anything spooky it stands for.

If that sounds cool, I'll PR it for you as a bit of rust practice for myself.

IDK, maybe it secretly stands for lugosi ;)

Ah, so I finally remembered why it's called "seance" and not something more familiar like "list". I think if it were called "list" I would expect it to list all the files in the graveyard, but "seance" lists all the files that were deleted from the current directory. I actually don't remember why I thought this was useful, but for just listing stuff in the graveyard you can just do `find /tmp/graveyard-foo` adding `-f` if you wanted files -- didn't see much of a point in reimplementing that here. The theme behind it is supposed to be like, a place (in the filesystem) of dead spirits or something, you go there and you do a seance and they present themselves to you.

So it is my humblest opinion that `-l` should be an additional alias for `--seance`. If that sounds cool, I'll PR it for you as a bit of rust practice for myself.
