Support for VMS pragma import_exception which uses an alias to define an

I think you need to handle this separately from symbol alias support.
I certainly don't like
/* Extension: an alias whose target is an address creates an
absolute symbol. */
with zero documentation. I suggest that your vms common routines
record these absolute symbols and emit them at the asm_file_end hook.
