Problem Description

Documentation says that an alert is uniquely identified with the tuple (type ; source ; sourceRef) (https://github.com/TheHive-Project/TheHiveDocs/blob/master/api/alert.md#create-an-alert). It seems that the type is ignored when generating the alert id.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a dummy alert with the following parameters: {"type":"test", source":"test", "sourceRef": "test", ...} (the first alert will be created)
2. Try to create a new alert by changing only the type, it will fail saying that there is a conflict version as the document already exists and it will serve the previously created alert

Nice fail :)

Well this once needs a migration to fix all the existing alerts, because the alert's ID is used to check to existence of an alert
