Doesn't check if abbreviation already exists

Add game page it says

"Abbreviation eg, smb2. Optional, must be unique."

However, I failed to realize that "octodad" was already the 'abbreviation' of the series (http://www.speedrun.com/octodad). So upon adding the game called "octodad" and giving it the same abbreviation, I now glitched where it has two links to itself (and one to gtavc I put as a test) with no way for me to remove the two links. I tried changing the series abbreviation so that I could access the editgame page for the game but it'll take me to the series edit page anyway.

A check whether an abbreviation already exists would be useful, since this could get quite a nuisance when multiple games with the same abbreviation pop round.

On top of that, a way for a series mod to remove a game.

Fixed. You'll now get an error if you try to give a game an abbreviation that's already in use. They are case sensitive though, so Octodad is not the same as octodad.

Also, super mods can already delete a game - see Edit game.

I think we should make it so urls/abbreviations are not case sensitive. It just seems like it would cause confusion to users linking to pages or typing in things manually.

Ah I see. Thanks! In any case, as I wasn't able to access the Edit game page for the glitched games, I could not press the delete button
