Problem/Motivation

When replacing any term's nodes with the same term, it does allow the user to "replace" nodes from a term to the same term and then deletes the term as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Create a Vocabulary with some terms in it.
Create a *required Entity Reference - Taxonomy Term field which targets Vocabulary
Use Devel Generate to create dummy content for the content type having the newly created field.
Go to 's term page - /taxonomy/term/{id}/replace?destination=/admin/structure/taxonomy/manage/<vocabulary>/overview
Make sure that there are some nodes associated with the term ID.
In the field - "Taxonomy term to use instead", enter the name of the term ID you are replacing from, i.e. -
- Current taxonomy term - 'ABCD'
- Taxonomy term to use instead - 'ABCD'
The process will be completed successfully, and the nodes will be "replaced" with the same term, and the term will be deleted, as is the functionality of this module.

Proposed resolution

Add a checking before replacing terms - Check to see whether the current and replacement terms are different or not.

My first thought is to add a validation function to the replacement form checking to see if the tid of the existing term is the same as the tid of the new (replacement) term. If they are the same, return an error.
