Better handling of duplicate definitions
Description
It happens that users, through a game of copy/paste/import/page management, happen to create 2 definitions for the same requirement. The UI does everything possible to prevent this, but Confluence's APIs can't be hermetically plugged.
Fix situations in the UI
Done in 1.13.5: Duplicates can be created when bulk-replacing keys in the editor. We'll send the list of keys to the server, and the server will respond with 409-CONFLICT and a message will be presented to the user, blocking them.
Fixed a long time ago, duplicates appear in red after submitting the page: Duplicates can be created in the editor when the user avoids the RY macro, either by editing the HTML manually, either by pasting content.
Improve the back-end
Done in 1.13.5: When a draft of requirement is created, we'll record the draft ID so users can go to the page and delete the requirement.
Draft of requirements shouldn't be displayed in the search because it gives a feeling of corrupted database.
Done in 1.13.5: As opposed to now, when a requirement is defined on 2 pages, we should record the links to the 2 pages.
Done in 1.13.5: We'll use that to display the macro in bright red, both in the page and in the search results, and tell the user to fix the problem.
Done in 1.13.5: When submitting the requirement excerpt, if it has a duplicate definition, we'll check whether it has disappeared from the original page.
This will give a better feeling of stability, although we're just putting checks in place to help the users manage their links properly.

This is resolved, in 1.13.5. Users can technically create duplicates, but they are duely warned with red messages.
