Bug in duplicate person detection when additional space between 2 names of person

[bryanhce]

The app should throw an error or a warning when "John Doe" is in the app and "John Doe" (with 2 spaces between) is a new person to add. They are likely the same person but because of a typo they could be added twice.

Added duplicate since both issues are considered similar under "duplication detection" as mentioned under course admin issue.

The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

User may input duplicate persons if there is an extra space in the name

edit 1 n/David Li

David Li already exists on the list (index 4). But if a user were to input the name 'David Li' with an extra space accidentally, it accepts the input. Extra white space is unlikely to mean that they are the same person.
