Consolidation of Database entries (with focus on duplications)

1	consolidate_narc_mail(db, table = "NARC_mail")

`db`	The database file (SQLite).
`table`	The database table to be consolidated; a character vector of length 1.

The default argument for the table parameter is NARC_mail. This is kept for backward compatibility with earlier code that was specifically tailored for use by this function.

The functions returns a copy of the consolidated data frame. A side effect is the creation of a table through internal implementation. That table is named consolidated.

In its current state, the function preloads the data internally. Thus, regardless of the way data are loaded in the global environment, they are reloaded from the table from scratch. Where the table does not have a 'serialno' column, the function fails. The real problem is the fact that the function is tailor-made for a data table that comes with specific field format. This is something that would be reconsidered in future.
