Don't reset the alias when using empathy_contact_from_tpl_contact

contact_set_property() calls empathy_contact_set_alias(), which
tries to set the alias on the FolksPersona, but we don't want to
do that when creating an EmpathyContact from a TplEntity. So just
set priv->alias instead of passing it to g_object_new() instead.
