When there are multiple catalogs with the same path (so different UUIDs
all mapped to the same catalog path), treat the first-loaded one as the
main catalog for that path, and the rest as aliases.
This ensures that the UUID of a catalog (as chosen in the tree UI and thus
interacted with by users) is stable, regardless of whether by some coincidence
later another catalog with the same UUID is created.
