Check for allele with same description when entering in Canto

[ValWood]

Since we still get new additions into the chado_checks.duplicate_allele_descriptions log

https://curation.pombase.org/dumps/latest_build/logs/log.2024-06-25-21-01-00.chado_checks.duplicate_allele_descriptions

And, since this is going to cause problems once the permanent allele IDs are implemented, we should make a check in Canto so that we cannot add an existing allele with a new name (prompt, did you want to use the existing allele "allele with the same description".

That way, even if we DO need to change a name, we will be alerted before we add it and you try to load it.

This will be implemented as a check to make sure that the allele is not existing with a different name already.

I've implemented this such that it checks for duplicates as you type. It wasn't any extra effort. The "OK" will be greyed-out if the description is a duplicate.

I've updated the test Canto with this change. Could you do a quick test of the allele dialog when you get a chance? Also, please let me know if the wording of the messages needs improving.

It works, but I think we shoud change the messaging.

In this instance I did a new name, and then a description, and get:

It probably isn't very obvious what the user needs to do.
Perhaps the message should say:
This allele is already in PomBase. Use the existing allele and add your name as a synonym?
