Handle Product Assets with the same name
Relevant for image file formats:
If an asset with the same file name already exists in MAC, but has a different size or extension, the system uploads the new asset as a new version of the existing product asset. This useful feature will allow avoiding creation of any duplicated product images with the same file names.
If an asset with the same name and size already exists in MAC, a newly uploaded file will be rejected as a duplicate.
Exception: if assets are uploaded by a different content provider/agency.
