Description
Allow DUT and its imported testplans to have the same testpoint name as long as they are in separate files.
* The list of written tests are appended from both files.
* The descriptions are merged - it's up to the user to ensure that it is still meaningful after the merge.
* Conflicting milestones are flagged as an error.
This future work item is also tracked at the bottom of `util/dvsim/doc/testplanner.md` (as of commit 86169d0)

Research direction
Start with the future-work item at the bottom of util/dvsim/doc/testplanner.md and inspect the dvsim/testplanner implementation it references. Done means duplicate testpoint names are accepted only across separate files, written tests and descriptions are merged, and conflicting milestones produce an error.
