handle duplicate vgids
The approach to duplicate VGIDs has been that it is not possible or not allowed, so the behavior has been undefined. The actual result was unpredictable and/or broken, and generally unhelpful. Improve this by recognizing the problem, displaying the VGs, and printing a warning to fix the problem. Beyond this, using VGs with duplicate VGIDs remains undefined, but should work well enough to correct the problem with vgchange -u. It's possible to create this condition without too much difficulty by cloning PVs, followed by an incomplete attempt at making the two VGs unique (vgrename and pvchange -u, but missing vgchange -u.)
