[Feature] Support "alternate-exchange" as option in declareExchangeCommand

[judgej]

I would like to be able to create an exchange with the alternative-exchange option set. There will be other tools to do this, but this artisan command is here and convenient.

What I would like to do, is extend rabbitmq:exchange-declare so that options can be passed in. Running the command could look something like this:

php rabbitmq:exchange-declare "my-exchange" --option="alternate-exchange=my-unrouted-exchange"

Maybe something other than "=" could separate the option name and value to be a little neater.

Is this something you would accept, in principle, as a PR?

Trying an option format like this:

php artisan rabbitmq:exchange-declare ${RABBITMQ_EXCHANGE_NAME} --option="alternate-exchange|${RABBITMQ_EXCHANGE_NAME}.unrouted"

Because alternate-echange is an option you can define into rabbitMQ. I can see why you want to be able to add this as an option to the declareExchangeCommand.

Only i would make it an actual option. Just make the option --alternate available and when defined pass it into the create method.

php artisan rabbitmq:exchange-declare --alternate="catchall.unrouted" ${RABBITMQ_EXCHANGE_NAME}

• Branch from the latest v10 version
• write a test for this extra feature
• Alter the code and create an PR.

I'll work on this over the next few weeks.
