Problem

The dev alias system only supports hardcoded dev.{primary_domain}. Need to support any CNAME/domain alias with individual offline and robots settings.

Use Case

Client has clientsite.com (production, online) and dev.clientsite.com (DreamHost CNAME, same folder). The dev domain should:

Stay online while production is offline
Have noindex, nofollow robots
Share the same database, files, and configuration

Current State

site_aliases subform field exists in the core plugin XML config
getCurrentAlias() only checks for dev.{primary_domain} (hardcoded)
Legacy getCurrentAliasLegacy() read from params but was replaced

Required

Restore getCurrentAlias() to read from site_aliases param
Each alias entry: domain, offline (yes/no), robots directive, redirect_backend
When current request matches an alias domain, apply its offline/robots settings
The offline bypass plugin should respect alias settings
