Summary: Allow aliases of real accounts

Initial Comment:
One of the things that postfix allows, and that I've used quite a bit in the past, is to create accounts that keep a local copy and also send to a remote user, eg.

(account) foo
(alias) foo:  foo, ot...@us...

postfixadmin doesn't allow this as it treats the alias and the real account as being in the same namespace and blocks it.
I can create the above directly in SQL and postfix doesn't mind, but it upsets postfixadmin somewhat as it puts real accounts into the aliases table & you lose the ability to edit the alias with the UI (as it assumes it's a mailbox not an alias).

If it's too difficult to make it work fully just making the alias display in the UI (assuming manual modification of the database) would be a great start.
