Explore view broken for tables with identical dimension and metric names

Explore probably breaks when the metric has the same definition as a column!

To Reproduce

YAML example:

version: 2
models:
  - name: stats_daily_projects
    description: "Legacy basic daily metrics"
    columns:
      - name: "report_date"
      - name: "project_id"
        meta:
          metrics:
            projects_count:
              type: "count_distinct"
      - name: "total_requests"
        meta:
          metrics:
            total_requests:
              type: "sum"

@TuringLovesDeathMetal I didn’t know about this ticket and I worked on a fix for this problem this week. https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash/pull/2355 We are now showing an error when dimensions and metrics have the same name. Let me know if we want to close this ticket or implement some of the other approaches. imo showing the error is the simplest implementation and a reasonable requirement.

Just a small note from my side: it is very easy to convert from measure to dimension and back in Tableau and I personally use this feature every day.

I believe it is very likely for a column that represents something like ID to be both a dimension and measure at the same time.

For example, if you deal with events then you are likely to track both “count of events per user(=dimension)” and “distinct count of users(=measure) with events per week”.
