Problem

We don't currently allow type aliases for numeric generics in Noir:

type Double<let N: u32>: u32 = N * 2;

(syntax up for debate)

Happy Case

We should support type aliases for numeric types to simplify larger arithmetic generic expressions.

@michaeljklein looks like a different issue. That one is on supporting type aliases in the kind position where this issue is on supporting defining type aliases that alias numeric types.
