AutoSlugField unique argument

See original GitHub issue

I like AutoSlugField’s populate from argument however sometimes I don’t need to slug to be unique (eg number incremented and added). It would be good if I could pass AutoSlugField(populate_from='name',overwrite=True,unique=False) to prevent the unique functionality

Having non-unique Slugfield is fundamentaly wrong, because you lookup your content by the slug-name (most apps, instead of pk)
