Allow duplicate cluster names within a site

Environment

• Python version: 3.5.2
• NetBox version: v2.3.0

Description

There is no possibility to represent an infrastructure having two different virtual clusters with the same name in two different virtual cluster groups located in different Sites. Whereas, this possibility is in place in racks.

The following shows how to reproduce the issue:

1. Hit "Cluster-Groups" under virtualization menu
2. Add two different cluster groups like cg1 and cg2
3. Hit "Clusters" under virtualization menu
4. add a cluster and name it like "staging" and put it under cg1
5. add one more cluster with the same name and put it under cg2

At step 5, you will encounter error "Cluster with this Name already exists".

Just wanted to follow up to make sure if it is doable.

I think it may have to do with
#238
and
#1963

[jeremystretch]

This pretty much parallels #238, which would allow duplicate rack names within a site.

[Simperdy]

I have the same problem. This would be very useful for me.

Same as Simperdy and bb-Ricardo, we have 9 vCenter instances running in 3 environments and several of them have the same cluster names, but even though they are from different cluster groups we cannot create the duplicate clusters, leaving us to either group them all together or append the environment to the cluster name (which is not optimal because it doesn't reflect the actual cluster name in vCenter).
Being able to keep the naming constraint just within a cluster group is fine (like how setting IP address unique enforcement within a specific VRF is done right now).
