[Kavita] Ability to add a book/issue/volume to a reading list more than once

[FibreTTP]

Idea Description

Originally submitted as a feature request in Komga, though it was shot down pretty quickly. (ignore the Komga UI below)

I wish to create a reading list of a series (A Certain Magical/Scientific...) which itself spans multiple series and media, in the detailed reading order.

The detailed reading order does not always align entries at the start and ends of volumes, and thus for the applicable books, I wish to add such books twice (and more): the first at the first time I have to open the book, the second at the second time I have to open the book, etc.,.

The situation which prompted this request:

Railgun, Vol. 7 contains chapters 38-44, but the reading order I'm creating a reading list for doesn't align to its volume boundaries. In effect, I need to read Railgun volumes 4-6 (which are chapters 18-37), then the start of volume 7 (chapters 38-39.5), switch to reading Index volumes 12-15, then continue reading Railgun volume 7 (chapters 40-41), read more of the other books in the series, then finish reading Railgun volume 7 when applicable.

I'd like to add Railgun, Vol. 7 three times to a reading list in total. This happens with other books in this reading order, too.

I quickly tested in the Kavita demo to see if this works, and it did not for me.
