Item13091: same error message being repeated multiple times

There are far too many error messages being emitted all over the UI. Even the same ones are being repeated not only twice but sometimes even more on a single screen, e.g.

1. at the top of the Security & Authentication tab
2. at the top of the Login tab inside the Security & Authentication tab
3. at the top of the MyLoginMethod tab inside the Login tab
4. per config node on the MyLoginMethod tab

As a first attempt: dump gathering all errors inside of a tab at the top if it. That would mitigate the most of the problem.

Originally I had the error message only on the item that raised it, and a "there's an error" flag on the tab, but I guess that wasn't "in your face" enough for someone (probably George?)

I think there needs to be a balance. IIRC originally, the intermediate tabs were not flagged, so that you had to click every tab to find where the errrors were. I think maybe flagging the tabs, but not duplicating the messages might be sufficient. Some sort of happy medium:

- At lowest level, flag tab with the red and/or orange icon, and print the message details. - Propagate just the icons up each level.

As long as the tab icons make it up to every level, messages are just noise other than the lowest level.

If I asked for dup messages at every level, clearly I was a bit befuddled at the time.

Confirming this, leaving it as Enhancement, won't block 1.2., but nice to have.
