Added helper to open file with emacsclient using filename:line path

"filename:linenumber". So you may wish to open filename in that format.
This little 'advice' can do that. Just call

emacsclient filename:linenumber

and cursor will be positioned on requested line

The last two aliases are helpful if you're used to editing files from
the command line using `vi(m)`.
Also you can open a file with cursor on choosen line:
```bash
emacsclient somefile:1234
```
This will open file 'somefile' and set cursor on line 1234.
