Two windows, one with previous, second with new contents of the object.

Saving-as Kexi object should close window of object that will be overwritten.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any object O1 (eg. query) in any view
2. Open another object O2 (of the same type as O1) in the design view
3. "Save As" O2 and pick the name of the existing object O1 as the destination
name.
4. Kexi will ask about overwriting O1, accept it.


Actual Results:  
After confirmation O2 gets saved-as and two tabs for object O1 will stay on
screen. See the attachment.

Expected Results:  
The original window with O1 opened in step #1 should be closed before
overwriting is performed.

Notes:
* Applies to any objects available for save-as context command, actually
everything but tables. 
* This is a general logic issue.
* Quite severe issue as user has access to the old nonexisting representation
of an object (O1) and may start to use or modify it. Crashes or data
design/loss can happen.
