update-alternatives: do not allow to reuse a slave link in another slave
alternative
update-alternatives erroneously allowed to reuse a link in another slave
alternative. Given the parsing code already catched this error, it would
immediately result in update-alternatives being unusable to manipulate the
broken alternative.
