Shell: a picker entry can name the older variant ids it stands for

Layouts saved before Timers 1.3.0 hold 'timer:<uuid>' and 'ltc' tiles.
An entry's aliases let those tiles get the entry's slim gear settings
instead of falling back to the module's full schema.

tiles added from it — settings that fit that tile, nothing else.
- `aliases: ['old-id', …]` on an entry names earlier variant ids it stands
for: a tile added under one of them (a layout saved by an older version of
your module) gets this entry's settings too. A tile whose variant matches
no entry and no alias falls back to the module's full `instanceSchema`.
