Don't issue an error when same `component:` is defined in *.clayer.yml and *.cproject.yml #1766

The Problem To Be Solved

Defining the same component in .clayer.yml and .cproject.yml creates in the moment this error:

error csolution: conflict: component 'CMSIS:CORE' is declared multiple times

Suggest A Solution

I suggest that this should be tolerated. Layers should be reusable across projects and it is not really an error when the same component is required by the layer and the project.

Note: this is more complex. Components with configuration files cannot work that way, as otherwise the tool does not know which config files to use.

Is it possible to express this through consumes and provides and make it either located in the clayer or the cproject?

This issue is about flexibility for reusing layers across various projects. We should discuss this.
