Collision detection doesn't work for bulk uploads of devices in chassis #987

When bulk importing devices into chassis, I am allowed to import the same device twice, into the same position, creating duplicate devices. Eg:

Cabinet: HB01 Position: 22.10. Label: Server-12

Running the same import worksheet twice, and I have duplicate servers.

Frustratingly, bulk deletes fail (device is not unique) which makes cleanup quite hard!

I believe a way to partially address the issue would be for the parser to acknowledge an extra column where you state if you are to import or not the corresponding row depending on it being empty or not (or with a Y or N value). This could be done on the cabinets bulk importer too.
