resources: add interfaces that return conflict information
request_resource() and insert_resource() only return success or failure, which no information about what existing resource conflicted with the proposed new reservation. This patch adds request_resource_conflict() and insert_resource_conflict(), which return the conflicting resource. Callers may use this for better error messages or to adjust the new resource and retry the request.
