Description

Saving after attempting bulk import of a new alias on firewall_aliases_import.php results in the alias configuration being broken and PHP errors on every GUI page and console prevent making any changes.

When saving after import, the configuration section for aliases ends up as:

    <aliases>
        <alias>0</alias>
    </aliases>

Where the content is the next alias ID. For example, if there were one existing alias at the time, the value is 1. If there are 5, it's 5, and so on.

The PHP error is due to the corrupted alias configuration and isn't as important:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /etc/inc/util.inc:2053
Stack trace:
#0 /etc/inc/config.gui.inc(56): alias_make_table()
#1 /etc/inc/auth.inc(34): require_once('/etc/inc/config...')
#2 /etc/inc/authgui.inc(27): include_once('/etc/inc/auth.i...')
#3 /usr/local/www/guiconfig.inc(62): require_once('/etc/inc/authgu...')
#4 /usr/local/www/firewall_aliases.php(35): require_once('/usr/local/www/...')
#5 {main}
  thrown in /etc/inc/util.inc on line 2053

That error doesn't necessarily need fixed here if we can prevent the data from being corrupted, but it might be nice to have that bail in a more user-friendly way.
