Manager is a VM manager. It has the following functionality:

1. Register a VM factory. To register a VM is to associate its ID with a VMFactory which, when New() is called upon it, creates a new instance of that VM.
2. Get a VM factory. Given the ID of a VM that has been registered, return the factory that the ID is associated with.
3. Associate a VM with an alias
4. Get the ID of the VM by the VM's alias
5. Get the aliases of a VM
