[pve-devel] [PATCH common] add postinst hook to fix /etc/aliases whitespace error

[Thomas Lamprecht]

This was wrongly shipped by our ISO since quite a bit (AFAICT, at
least 4.x), so fix it up in a versioned postinst snippet.

Do so by usind sed with the following pattern:
 # sed -E -i -e 's/^www:(\w)/www: \1/' /etc/aliases
proposed by Musee Ullah[0]. It even catches a bit more than exactly
our misstep, may help if one copied this line, or added some other
addresses to this specific aliases entry.

Do this here, in pve-common, as it makes it sligthly simpler to roll
the change out to both, PVE and PMG.

One could even add to the proposed solution to make it more general:
 # sed -E -i -e 's/^([^\s:]+):(\w)/\1: \2/' /etc/aliases

but I think that's not in our responsibility..
Open for different place to add this, but shared between PMG and PVE
/is/ really nice, IMO.
