Fixes #3612 by disallowing PVs (and nodes) with multiple leading slashes.
Trying to add a PV/node with multiple leading slashes raises an exception, which is handled by the GUI by opening an error dialog
and by the XmlModelReader by logging a warning.
Also fixes a bug where moving an alarm tree node to the same path it already has would delete it.
