[Ifeffit] Disable duplicate data group check

[Christopher Patridge]

Hi Jason,

Would it fix the problem if you duplicate a dataset and rename the files 
in Athena instead of just trying to reimport the same dataset in 
Artemis?  It appears to work for me.  I loaded a dataset and then copied 
it in Athena and renamed it duplicate.026.  I was able to import both 
and fit both with a crystal structure without any warning.  It seems it 
would be easier to me to track the different treatments you use in 
Athena if you had different datasets from the start.

Hope it helps,

Chris
