Description

When the same footnote is reproduced, this was detected in Tiki12 and both had the same number and would link to the same item in footnotearea

Now, as can be seen in our explanation page: https://doc.tiki.org/PluginFootnote duplicated footnotes are shown twice (the 3 & 4 both show Ibid.)

Using "sameas" option is not really a good solution because adding a footnote above other footnotes does not recalculate the sameas parameter even though the number of the previous footnote changed.

It seems the regression was introduced by: http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/53263 but a simple rollback would remove the "class" option.

I suggest recovering the duplicate detection and also adding two new optional options:
Id (alnum)
sameasId (alnum)

so we can express that a footnote is the same as another by Id. This way, adding new footnotes only changes the numbers (displayed), not the Ids (not displayed).

Please test/comment before backport to Tiki15
