When using the alternative_frontpage module, users can create endless redirect loops if they use path aliases for path instead of actual url.
1. Install alternative_frontpage module
2. Create a basic page, that will be the frontpage for authenticated users (eq, /node/1), make sure it has an alias (eq. /front)
3. Set the frontpage to '/node/1' at /admin/config/system/site-information
4. Go to /admin/config/alternative_frontpage
5. Create a new alternative frontpage item for authenticated users
6. For 'Frontpage path' use the alias for the node previously created, eq. /front
7. Save
8. Try to login and access the homepage as authenticated user.
9. Endless redirect loop will occur.
In RedirectHomepageSubscriber.php we are not checking if the frontpage path setting is an alias or an actual url. We need to always compare urls and not aliases and then decide if we need to do the redirect.
Fixed

Code (back-end)
I'm adding a patch for this issue since it will be released on 11.8.x but can already be used in other minor versions such as 11.7.x
