Hi

When upstream bugs are getting merged they normally deal with the same
problem and have no information that is intersting enough to justify
sending them all to the upstream author.

Therefore merging should be allowed if the "forwarded to" state differ.

Attached is an untested patch.

bye,

Blocked bugs (and those blocked-by) need to be blocked in the same
way; otherwise merging them will produce an undefined state. Merging
the set of blocks isn't exactly obvious either.

The implementation of forcemerge will enable the second bug to take on
the exact same state as the first bug listed, but that's not yet fully
tested. As that bug already exists in multiple forms (see #14043 et
al.) I'm closing this bug.
