Remove the alt_std_name option

This option introduced in #15820 allows a custom crate to be imported in
the place of std, but with the name std. I don't think there is any
value to this. At most it is confusing users of a driver that uses this option. There are no users of
this option on github. If anyone still needs it, they can emulate it
injecting #![no_core] in addition to their own prelude.
