Adds linalg.det alias, fixes outer alias, updates alias testing (#42802)
Summary:
This PR:
- updates test_op_normalization.py, which verifies that aliases are correctly translated in the JIT
- adds torch.linalg.det as an alias for torch.det
- moves the torch.linalg.outer alias to torch.outer (to be consistent with NumPy)
The torch.linalg.outer alias was put the linalg namespace erroneously as a placeholder since it's a "linear algebra op" according to NumPy but is actually still in the main NumPy namespace.
The updates to test_op_normalization are necessary. Previously it was using method_tests to generate tests, and method_tests assumes test suites using it also use the device generic framework, which test_op_normalization did not. For example, some ops require decorators like `skipCPUIfNoLapack`, which only works in device generic test classes. Moving test_op_normalization to the device generic framework also lets these tests run on CPU and CUDA.
Continued reliance on method_tests() is excessive since the test suite is only interested in testing aliasing, and a simpler and more readable `AliasInfo` class is used for the required information. An example impedance mismatch between method_tests and the new tests, for example, was how to handle ops in namespaces like torch.linalg.det. In the future this information will likely be folded into a common 'OpInfo' registry in the test suite.
The actual tests performed are similar to what they were previously: a scripted and traced version of the op is run and the test verifies that both graphs do not contain the alias name and do contain the aliased name.
The guidance for adding an alias has been updated accordingly.

Note:
ngimel suggests:
- deprecating and then removing the `torch.ger` name
- reviewing the implementation of `torch.outer`
