non-standard command names: setprojectdir, toggleglobalsitepackages

It seems virtualenvwrapper-win has some commands renamed. setvirtualenvproject -> setprojectdir; toggsitepackages -> toggleglobalsitepackages.

We should probably implement aliases for the "standard" names. It will help people following the linux documentation.

Maybe instead of "aliases" the old names could be deprecated and later removed.

Anyway, I would welcome rather a simple command interface where possible, see my comment in #81.

@xmedeko I live in a world where backward compatibility is king, so unless there is a technical reason we cannot keep the existing command names I would never consider breaking other people's code for purely cosmetic reasons. I'm all for implementing the standard names and removing the non-standard names from the documentation, but deprecation should be limited to cases where we absolutely cannot keep existing functionality.
