Issue with how GridMapper resolves aliases generated from view

[jaandrews]

The issue here stems from how the grid mapper extracts an alias from the view. The problem is that the view in the grid configuration often ends in ".html" which means the alias will always be "Umbraco.Grid.html" for controls with views like that. Take the following configuration for example.

{
    "name": "Blog Detail",
    "alias": "blogDetail",
    "view": "/App_Plugins/LeBlender/editors/leblendereditor/LeBlendereditor.html",
    "icon": "icon-defrag color-black",
    "render": "/App_Plugins/LeBlender/editors/leblendereditor/views/Base.cshtml",
    "config": {
        "frontView": "BlogDetail",
        "renderInGrid": "1",
        "editors": [
            {
                "name": "Body Text",
                "alias": "bodyText",
                "propretyType": {},
                "dataType": "ca90c950-0aff-4e72-b976-a30b1ac57dad",
                "description": "blog detail"
            }
        ]
    }
}

No need to worry about the leblender reference. I'm using a customized version of it that runs in umbraco 8.

The problem code can be found here. It grabs all the text after the last "." to generate the alias, which in this case leaves only "html." Removing the ".html" for strings that end with it should resolve this issue.
