docs: Document the use of SRS when doing alias forwarding
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.
