Description

The firewall fails to reload when using the same name for an alias and interface group.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create interface group with name "TestFirewall" assign atleast one interface.
2. Create alias with name "TestFirewall", for example to IP 8.8.8.8
3. Create a filewall rule on the interface group "TestFirewall" and use the alias "TestFirewall" in this rule.
4. Reload the firewall (apply config changes).
5. PFSense will report a syntax error (red alert icon in the right top of the webinterface).

This is also a problem on 2.4.

Input validation should prevent an alias from using a name that is already an interface or group name, and it should also prevent an interface group from using a name used by aliases.

/interfaces_groups_edit.php

- DOES prevent a group name from overlapping an existing interface - This is OK
- DOES NOT prevent a group name from overlapping an alias - This must be fixed

/firewall_aliases_edit.php

- DOES NOT prevent an alias name from overlapping an existing interface (e.g. WAN, OPT1) - This must be fixed
- DOES NOT prevent an alias name from overlapping an interface group name - This must be added

All of the problem cases work as expected now. Names are rejected as being in use, I was not able to make a conflict.
