this check is client sided (CLI), which still leaves the backend API open to such mistakes from a user. Please check cmdOpsReplication in microceph/api/ops_replication.go to add this validation in the API.

@UtkarshBhatthere, I've added the validation at the API level as requested. The empty check prevents errors from cases where the remote name is empty, which caused a test to fail previously. Also included LocalAlias in the struct to explicitly track and use the local cluster name.

Description
This PR introduces a validation in the remote import CLI command to prevent users from specifying the same value for the --local-name flag and the remote cluster name (positional argument). This resolves an issue where Ceph replication fails due to duplicate site names during peer bootstrap.
Additionally, the relevant documentation (Import a remote MicroCeph cluster) was updated to include a note that clarifies this requirement for users.
Fixes #559
Type of change
How has this been tested?
The validation was tested locally by building the microceph binary and running the remote import command with:
