[education/kstars] kstars/ekos/scheduler: Only emit warning, but allow doubled sequences

Git commit a41a6f908839ddbc854a70944a8756bca3b75f81 by Wolfgang Reissenberger.

Only emit warning, but allow doubled sequences

The scheduler checks, if for the same target there is another job using the same capture sequence. If this is the case, adding a new one fails.

This is too restrictive for example in setups with multiple cameras, where the following camera might have always the same sequence but the target camera has different ones. This is for example necessary if you have an OSC camera as second camera and you simply want to shoot the stars in parallel to multiple filters on the main camera.

Therefore, the warning is issued, but adding is still possible.
