Filter to Identify Duplicate Points

[AmberSJones]

The technicians have requested functionality to automatically select points that are duplicate (same value and same timestamp) and overlapping (same timestamp but different values).

The first case can occur when a user has added points using the Add Point function, but some of those points already existed in the series. It is impossible to visually identify this since the points overlap. When the user tries to save the data series, it results in an error. They can then track down the overlapping point noted in the error message, but there may be more than one of these points, so they then have to go through the process multiple times.

The second case may occur for various reasons. This is not prevented by the business rules of the database, so it is desirable to have a method for identifying overlapping points in case this is not intentional or doesn't make sense for the data series.

I think that this should be added as an option on the Filter Points form. We can discuss more if needed.

Test on branch dup_filter

The filter is working for highlighting on Windows but not on Mac.

We need to get this issue addressed and a release out with all of our current functionality included ASAP. @sreeder I know you are working on the release problem. Can we make a goal to get that resolved this week?
