Problem/Motivation

If you try to activate a project and it fails with an error, and then you try again and it succeeds, you'll still see the error from the first try in the messages area.

Steps to reproduce

Alter ModuleActivator::activate() so that it unconditionally throws an exception, then use Project Browser to install a module that's already in your code base. You'll see the exception message show up in the messages area. Remove the alterations to ModuleActivator, then install the project again. It will succeed (or should), but the error message from the first try will still be there.

Proposed resolution

When an activation error happens, give it a unique identifier -- something like activation_error:fully_qualified_project_id. The Svelte app, when about to activate a project, should then remove the existing message before sending the activation request. Pretty straightforward.
