[chimera-dev] a more logical command for atom view

[Jakob Suckale]

Dear Chimera dev't team,

As a new user to Chimera, I always found the command to show atoms
counterintuitive and I would like to suggest to add a synonym that is
logically consistent with the other options to show a molecule.

How about "atom achain"? If you asked any new user to complete the
following series, the answer would not be "display" - surface achain,
ribbon achain, ? achain. This is probably not something that veterans
of Chimera still notice but it's illogical to new users and could be
easily remedied with a synonym in addition to "disp". This wouldn't
affect any old users while being consistent and logical.

All the best,

Jakob
