Don't reopen duplicate incidents
What does this MR do and why?
In order to reduce the noise in Slack, we should never reopen incidents that were closed as duplicates because the investigation should happen in the canonical opened incidents anyway, so all the activity in duplicated incidents (and Slack notifications) is just noise.
This was brought up in yesterday's team meeting as well as in Slack today: https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C04RC5QTGBT/p1717685072214789 (internal).
