Allow specialized views of already registered models

Allow specialized views of already registered models.

Currently we do not allow for a template to register a new view of a model already existing.

Sometimes it is useful to have a specialized view of an already registered model, for example, kubevirt use a view called "Virtual machine templates" to view openshift templates with specialized features.

Currently the new view is rejected because it is falsely flagged as duplication of the regular template view.

This PR allow for a plugin author to flag a plugin model as a specialized view, to bypass the check for duplication views.

@spadgett Hi, this function is building url for the console ( vs. building for the k8s API ) , shouldn't is use plural instead of path, what am I missing ?

[vojtechszocs]

Models representing custom resources (having crd: true) will have their resourcePath based on referenceForModel function ([group]~[version]~[kind]), which serves as the key for all CRD-based models.

Models representing core k8s objects (without crd: true) will have their resourcePath based on model's path attribute only.

Model's plural attribute seems to be used for organizing models within Redux and k8s queries, see e.g. connectToPlural in public/kinds.ts.

@vojtechszocs please have a look

I've talked with @yaacov, the issue here is that we're trying to redefine an existing base k8s model (with the same [apiGroup]~[apiVersion]~[kind] key) for the sake of supporting KubeVirt's VM templates.

Redefining existing models, whether base or plugin-contributed, shouldn't be allowed. What we really want to do is have a nav link that points to a custom page that lists VM templates specifically. Using #1668 to add new route & page component seems like a better approach to me.
