#1045: BibKnowledge: less disruptive LHS rule check for uniqueness

Currently when one wants to add a new mapping "foo->bar" in a knowledge
base X, and that key "foo" already exists in another knowledge base Y, the
user is presented a warning that the rule already exists, asking to
confirm the insertion.
The warning is really disrupting the task of adding multiple entries to a
KB. It is very likely that the LHS already exists in another KB, and very
unlikely that the KBs are related in a way that the LHS should be unique.
It is proposed that this behavior is flipped, so that the rule is added
anyway (and user returns to the standard BibKnowledge form, ready to
insert next mapping) , and that a panel is displayed in case the user
would like to cancel the insertion (in a non-modal way). See attached
mockup.
One could also want to flip between these two behaviours on a CFG_
variable basis, or as a per-user setting, or per knowledge base (new
knowledge base attribute)

(One could further streamline the task of inserting entries by sending
asynchronous insertion requests in order to avoid full reload of the page,
but that would be the aim of another ticket)
