Issue Description:

Having to type `$ swift package` every time I interact with Swift Package Manager gets tiring fast. Would be nice if it was also exposed as `$ spm`. All other programming languages have a short command for their package manager. For example, Node.js has `$ npm`. Ruby has `$ gem`. Python has `$ pip`.

"spm" was indeed considered but ultimately rejected. The discussion can be found in the alternatives considered of this proposal: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0085-package-manager-command-name.md#alternatives-considered
