Verify present addresses when adding a remote
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement remains open: RemoteImage.add_remote checks only remote_name, so an existing address under another LXC remote name is not detected; address-level handling and tests are missing.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer-authored issue has a Type: Enhancement label, and current code confirms the gap: add_remote() gates only on remote_name in remote_list(), although remote_list() already exposes each remote's addr. It should remain open, though the desired behavior for a matching address—skip adding, reuse the existing name, or raise an error—needs a small design decision.

When adding a new remote to LXC, a check should be done be sure that remote address isn't already present under a different name.
### Why it needs to get done
The current behavior only guarantees that the remote name is not duplicated, which does not cover all cases.
