Missing descriptions for referrers to firewall aliases cause empty strings for references to be returned when deleting an in-use alias

Description

If an alias is in use by another alias, filter rule, nat rule, route, or OVPN configuration, attempting to delete it results in an error indicating that the alias is still in use. The code attempts to build a list of all of the referrers, but only does so by collecting 'descr' or 'description' attributes of them, which is not guaranteed to be populated resulting in no identifier for the referer being displayed.

This appears to be verification that the changes are producing acceptable and expected output for your case, can you confirm?

Tested against:

23.01-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Fri Dec 02 06:04:48 UTC 2022
FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT

When I tried to delete the alias used in a rule and route, I got:

Cannot delete alias. Currently in use by filter rule id 0, route id 0.

I deleted the rule with the alias and when tried to delete it I got:

Cannot delete alias. Currently in use by route id 0.

It works as expected. I am marking this ticket resolved.
