Ignore ambiguous components or resources (#9895)

# Objective

- Fixes #9884
- Add API for ignoring ambiguities on certain resource or components.

## Solution

- Add a `IgnoreSchedulingAmbiguitiy` resource to the world which holds
the `ComponentIds` to be ignored
- Filter out ambiguities with those component id's.

## Changelog

- add `allow_ambiguous_component` and `allow_ambiguous_resource` apis
for ignoring ambiguities
