show interface status, show platform summary and other cmds are broken

[nikos-github]

The #298 commit is breaking show commands for any port_config.ini that doesn't have an alias in it.

Alias is optional in sonic.

This is a blocker since platform/OS stability is compromised and identification as well as status for deployment is not possible.

@paavaanan, @padmanarayana: Please add logic to check for the existence of the "alias" field before all attempts to access it in order to prevent this crash.

Per our spec, https:/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Configuration, the 'alias' field is optional in ConfigDB. Therefore, we must gracefully handle the case where it doesn't exist.

Fixed by #405. Fix to verified once we have our new internal image.
