Application key (shared key)

[mouligno]

From 3.12 we add the ability to handle duplicate api-key for the same application (gravitee-io/issues#6006)

The objective was to facilitate migration from other provider where you can use the same api-key for all APIs on your application.

Behind the application key (or shared key, need some decision regarding actual wording), we now provide a better way to handle this behavior.

As an API Consumer, you can choose between API-key or Application key on your second subscription on api-key plan, this choice is definitive. If you choose to use unique API-Key, you'll get one API-Key for each subscription of your application. If you go with an Application Key, you'll be able to use the same API-key for all subscriptions of your application.

As for an API-Key, you'd be able to renew, update, revoke this application key.

The API owner won't be able to renew, update, revoke an application as it would impact other subscriptions. He can still do some changes at subscription level.
