`define-obsolete-variable-alias` includes `defvaralias`.
It just adds an obsolescence warning, but doesn't introduce any actual
changes in behavior.

Not sure if it makes sense, but if that's his preference, it's OK with
me (the name `shell-dirtrackp` is fundamentally wrong since it's
a boolean variable and not a predicate (which is where the "p" suffix
is used), but I can live with it).
