Rename extraVirtualAliases to aliases and update description

The extra and virtual parts are redundant and Postfix specific and not
at all required. Compare forwards for example.

-        Virtual Aliases. A virtual alias `"info@example.com" = "user1@example.com"` means that

-        that it is expected that `postmaster@example.com` and `abuse@example.com` is
-        forwarded to some valid email address. (Alternatively you can create login
-        accounts for `postmaster` and (or) `abuse`). Furthermore, it also allows
-        the user `user1@example.com` to send emails as `info@example.com`.
-        It's also possible to create an alias for multiple accounts. In this
-        example all mails for `multi@example.com` will be forwarded to both
-        `user1@example.com` and `user2@example.com`.
