Nested fixed elements included in non-fixed render

[mickenorlen]

Steps to reproduce

Define a fixed element eg:

- name: blog_index
  fixed: true # Likely you will want the index separated from the normal flow of content
  contents:
    - name: blog_page
      type: EssenceText
      default: Blog
      hint: Only index blog posts under this page
    - name: blog_post_category
      type: EssenceText
      hint: Only index blog posts with this category

Include it in nestable_elements of another element eg:

- name: blog
  unique: true
  contents:
    - name: title
      type: EssenceText
      default: Blog
    - name: text
      type: EssenceText
      default: This is my blog. It's awesome.
  nestable_elements:
    - blog_index

Expected behavior

Should not render alongside non-fixed elements. Add btn should name correctly.

Actual behavior

• Renders with non-fixed in view through <%= render_elements %>
• Renders twice in backend (below and in separate tab)
• Sais "Add blog_index" instead of "Add Blog index"

System configuration

• Alchemy Version: master
• Rails Version: 6

Fixed elements are not meant like this. They are always ever top level elements and cannot be nested inside other elements. Maybe we should add validations to make this more strict and forbid to create elements like this. Want to prepare a PR for this?
