Description

When I tried to use the same collection name twice, the error message (the uniqueness constraint violation exception from our PostgreSQL driver, rendered by X-Editable) looked like an internal error message that wasn't intended to be shown to an end user.

Proposed fix:
  1. API server should provide an error message phrased in Arvados terms, suitable for displaying to users, like errors.add :name, "must be unique within this project"
  2. Workbench should render errors like this without strange formatting -- e.g., "Error: name must be unique" instead of <ArvadosApiClient> 422 {"name", "must be unique"}
