[#13925] - [3.7.0b1] [com_fields] duplicate Alias - no validation

Steps to reproduce the issue (UPDATED)
Create at least 2 Calendar fields.
Fields have to be in the same field group.
Accidentally, my fields got the same ALIAS!
Expected result
Both fields in the same group should display on form / edit view.
Actual result
Only 1 Calendar field displays. It is the first Calendar field, according to fields manager ordering.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.7 BETA 1, MAMP3 , PHP 5.6.x
Additional comments (UPDATED)
The auto-generated or manual ALIAS is not validated. So it's possible to have duplicated Aliases.
This is not a problem, if the fields are in different groups, but the issue might occur later on, if you move fields from one group to another.
I assume there should be a validation in any case. Makes sense to require a unique Alias, like we have for core articles.

Thanks for checking the issue. I guess, I have found the actual culprit. I have updated my initial post and title.
Short summary: Fields can get the same ALIAS. This results in the display issue, inside the same field group.
