Input validaton on interface gateway creation box needs to reject duplicate names
100%
Description
If two gateways are created with the same name/label, and one of them is set as default for an interface, it's not possible to switch to the other one via the GUI; it always reverts to the first one.
In a such situation, only one of the gateways is displayed in the System-Routing settings page.
Deleting it results in the other one (with the same name) appearing; at this point that can be deleted as well.
Apparently the problem lies in both gateways having the same label. The creation of gateways with already existing labels should be prevented.
Steps to reproduce:
- enter the interface settings (eg. WAN)
- create a gateway with the default label (WANGW) and set it as default, save and apply
- create a different gateway with the same label, from within the same WAN interface settings page, and make it as default, save and apply
- the default gateway is reverted after applying the new settings.

The real issue is making a duplicate gateway name. The others things are all symptoms of that.
As the old joke goes:
Doctor, it hurts when I go like this!
Then don't do that!

Darren, do you think you can prevent this duplicate name issue in the Ajax call?
