[issue6227] doctest_aliases doesn't test duplicate removal

[James Abbatiello]

New submission from James Abbatiello <abbeyj at gmail.com>:

The file Lib/test/doctest_aliases.py is used by test_doctest to check
the handling of duplicate removal.  The "g = f" line in this file is one
indent too far to the right so instead of creating an alias for f called
g it is just unreachable code inside of f.  Since there is no alias
there is no need to remove duplicates and the test passes trivially.

I think this affects all versions but I've only checked on 2.7.
