GridLayout: Validate that all panel IDs are unique
Description
GridLayout which is used by GlDashboardLayout requires all dashboard panels in the config to have unique IDs, this is documented in Update dashboard layout documentation (!4794 - merged) and the code comments, however it's not enforced.
A problem caused by this is that when panel IDs are not unique it doesn't generate an error, yet the grid fails to render all items correctly - see the screenshot below. This means that this typebug would be difficult to discover and fix in production because it's not obvious.
