Display vnet alias in foreman network bridge selection field #109

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When configuring a network device in foreman I see the names of the subnets in the field "IPv4 Subnet". The names are longer than 8 chars. But in proxmox only 8 chars are allowed as network names, so we chose different network names in proxmox.
When creating a new host in foreman I have to fill Interface->IPv4 Subnet and Nic->Bridge. While it could be easy if the values would be the same, they are not. I have to look up in proxmox gui which proxmox bridge name matches the foreman subnet name.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the proxmox alias field we would have entered the long subnet names as they exist in foreman. It would be good if foreman-fog would display these on selection of nic->bridge.
Then I don't have to look up the matching bridge in proxmox.
Either display the alias additionally or exclusive.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Create a setting that allows to configure if the bridge name (aka VNet ID) or the alias is displayed on selection of nic-bridge.
Also good solution.
