[PATCH pmg-api] postfix: config: use postalias and update aliases.db only if changed

[Jonas Theisen]

Replace sendmail-interface command newaliases
with postfix native postalias

Added update logic for postalias to only run if changes are present
since the overwrite every two minutes would trigger a log message
next time an email was received on a cluster node.
This is analogus to the already added run_postmap for other
postfix files,
see 78982d93 ("run_postmap: only run postmap if file was modified")

run_postmap could not be reused since it does not handle alias files

Reported by a forum user in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/185048/

To test change /etc/aliases and run 'pmgcm sync' on cluster node.
aliases.db should be updated.
If unchanged aliases.db on cluster node should also stay unchanged
in contrast to the previous overwrite every two minutes.
