Mirror the event-level distinct_id in properties so tooling that only reads the payload can resolve both sides of an alias link, including the stateless API.

💡 Motivation and Context
$create_aliasalready setsdistinct_idon the event envelope. Some pipelines only readproperties, so they miss the pre-alias identity. This mirrors what other PostHog SDKs emit and coversaliasStatelessas well.Note: #819 proposes the same change for the main
alias()path; this branch also updates the stateless API and adds a regression test there.💚 How did you test it?
:posthog:test—PostHogTest.captures an alias event,PostHogStatelessTest.aliasStateless creates alias event(local Gradle blocked on missing AGP 8.9.1 in this environment; CI expected to run full suite).📝 Checklist
