Warn when a requested session overlaps an already submitted request

A recent chair submitted multiple copies of an interim request for the same time.

Two things should be done.

1. A chair should be warned if his group already has an meeting scheduled or requested at the same time.

2. Approved requests that are waiting the the announcement queue should be visible to the chair and the secretariat.

Given the argument in #2929, I think instead of restricting the view of the interim announcement queue (specifically the "announce" tab on /meeting/upcoming) , we show it to everyone.

For #2, should login be required or should the view be wide open?

For #1, is there a preferred way to present a warning? Are you imagining a message on the submission form, a confirmation screen or pop-up after an attempt to submit, or something else?

The pending and announce queues should be visible by anyone.

I should have said "the attempt to submit the request should fail" when I said warning in the original report. The failure can say why the request didn't go through. I think this can be done with normal form validation.

What remains is detecting whether a request overlaps an already existing request. Implementing this will require converting the currently naive timestamps into aware ones, which duplicates the general effort to make all of our timestamps aware, so I'm putting what remains here on hold until that general effort completes.
