[topicmapmail] Support for the topic naming constraint in TM software

[Michel Biezunski]

Topic Map Loom supports the Topic
Naming Constraint and more:

- it enables merging by names in scopes.

- it has the option of merging by names
  regardless of scopes (this requirement has
  been found useful in some applications, because
  scope was not used in order to differentiate
  name spaces).

- it has the option of discarding the
  Topic Naming constraint and keep the
  topics separate even if they have the
  same name.
