Importing a certificate to Portal with an existing alias always returns True

[esemplare]

Looking at arcgis/gis/admin/_security.py SSLCertificates.import_server_certificate always returns True, even on exception.

**Note, the Portal Admin API returns a 200 HTTP OK, with an html page specifying an Error and code 500. Understandably this is outside the python api.

To recreate the problem attempt to upload a server certificate with an existing alias. The call returns True with a message "Unable to import certificate".

Sample code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.gis.admin import PortalAdminManager

gis = GIS(**gis_connection)
portal_mgr = PortalAdminManager(portal_admin_url, gis)
ssl_mgr = portal_mgr.security.ssl

# Run once
ssl_mgr.import_server_certificate(host, cert_pass, cert_file)

# Run again, still returns true, even on exception
ssl_mgr.import_server_certificate(host, cert_pass, cert_file)

Versions: ArcGIS Version: 10.5.1 ArcGIS Python Api version 1.4.1
