docs: Document the use of SRS when doing alias forwarding

Browse Source 
When an alias has a remote destination, chasquid uses sender rewriting
(also known as SRS [1]) to forward the email without risking being in
violation of SPF policies.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Rewriting_Scheme for more
details.

This, however, wasn't documented anywhere, as noted in
https://github.com/albertito/chasquid/issues/6.

This patch adds a paragraph to the alias documentation explaining this
behaviour.

Destination addresses can be for a remote domain as well. In that case, the
email will be forwarded using
[sender rewriting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Rewriting_Scheme).
While the content of the message will not be changed, the envelope sender will
be the constructed from the alias user.
