Item10281: Action tracker edit can destroy parallel changes

Data can be lost during an edit of an Action of the ActionTrackerPlugin when the following happens

1. User A Edits Action but does not save
2. Enough time elapses that the lock on the edit expires
3. User B edits the same action and saves
4. User A Saves

What happens is the changes that User B made, are completely overwritten with no warning, unlike a normal edit sequence. In a normal topic edit, if the same sequence of events took place, the revision change would of been detected and a merge would of been performed.

I can confirm this, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it; it requires some major re-engineering of the plugin workflow.

Had a brainstorm, fixed it.
