[Pulp-list] Consumergroup add_keyvalue error handling

As we decided in key-value attributes deep dive, I am making changes to 
consumergroup to make key_value_pair a property of consumergroup (not 
just consumer). That will make sure that consumers added to the 
consumergroup AFTER setting a key-value property of the group will also 
inherit that property. This complicates error handling a little bit.

Let's say I have consumer1 and consumer2 registered to the pulp-server 
and I add key-value {location : rdu} to consumer1. consumer1 and 
consumer2 belong to consumergroup "testgroup". When I try to add 
key-value {location : sea} to this group, should it -
1. fail saying consumer1 already has  different value for that key ?
2. override key-value for consumer1 to {location : sea} ? (basically 
delete location key from consumer1, so there is no conflict)
3. fail, unless --override flag is set ?

Same error handling will need to be added when adding a consumer to 
consumergroup.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
