fix: Multiple bug fixes and add auto-alias initialization

- Fix null-check in Users.tsx for user.accessKey filtering
- Fix null-check in Policies.tsx for policy.name filtering
- Add auto-initialization of default MinIO alias from env vars on startup
- Add validation to reject "undefined"/"null" as bucket names in browser API
- Server now creates DEFAULT_MINIO_ALIAS automatically if MINIO_ENDPOINT,
  MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, and MINIO_SECRET_KEY are provided
