Public bug reported:

Mahara: master
OS: Linux
Browser: Firefox
DB: Postgres


With the new functionality to update shortname for manually created groups (i.e. institution = No institution), we should ensure that the shortname is unique across all institutions.

We've had a situation where the users created a group manually. Then
tried to updated it through the csv upload - for their default
institution. They get an error that the group does not exist.

It's very confusing for the users.

We should update the unique index in the db to be only on the shortname
column instead of shortname + institution.
