duplicated report

The ability to create Report Groups and Report Subgroups on reports without a
check of the authorised_value table causes a large list of authorised values. 
This large list of authorised values is not only difficult to administer within
the authorised_value area of Koha, but it also defeats the purpose of an
authorised_values list.

Users are able to enter duplicated Groups and Subgroups in reports.  Duplicated
Groups do not appear as separate groups in the tabs, nor do the duplicates
appear in the dropdown list for Groups.  Duplicated Subgroups (and perhaps
Groups) also cause 1 report to appear multiple times in the listing of Reports.
 (attached image) But the duplicated authorised_value does not appear in the
Subgroup list to select.

If free text is allowed, before adding to the authorised_value table, the
system needs to first verify if the Group or Subgroup already exists and if so,
notify the user that a group or subgroup already exists. 

Further storing the "report group" in the authorised_value table lib_opac field
makes no sense and is not intuitive to the user if they are to create Subgroups
in the Authorised Value module.
