#32760: Customizer Menus: cannot save a menu with the same name as an existing menu

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Go to Customize > Menus on a WordPress blog running at least r32806
 (preferably the latest though)
 1. If there are not already existing menus, create and save at least one
 menu.
 1. Create a 2nd menu and name it exactly the same as one of the existing
 menus.
 1. Add some items to the 2nd menu that are different than the first so you
 can distinguish them after save.
 1. Save changes.
 1. Go back to the main menus panel and re-open the menu you just tried to
 create.

 '''Result:''' the new menu fails silently and doesn't get saved if it has
 the same name as an existing menu.

 It should probably warn you against creating a menu with the same name and
 not let you continue until the name is unique.
