Query DHCP leases for clients that only have an alias not an actual fixed IP.
Change from 'fixed_ip' to 'use_fixedip' field in client record to handle configured clients without a saved fixed IP. Added handling for configured clients that have no current fixed or DHCP IP, ie offline in the case of DHCP clients.

Hi There,
I knew I should have figured out how to make a PR sooner :)
I made some changes to the script to handle devices that have been given an Alias, but not a fixed IP, ie they are on DHCP. A few devices do not register nice hostnames with DHCP, this allows those names to be overridden with an alias.
use_fixedipfield appears to always be present for a 'configured' client, thefixed_ipfield is not always present.There is probably better ways to query the DHCP leases, but this seems to work fine on my small network.
Disclaimer: The sum total of my Python experience is as long as it took to figure out how to make these changes :)
Cheers.
