This PR removes dedup_source_list and replaces it with a simple .uniq call. This resolves #491, which is only the latest in a series of ongoing issues with source expression deduplication.

secure_headers has had this feature since 2015 that deduplicates redundant URL source expressions. For example, if *.github.com is listed as a source expression for a given directive, then the addition of example.github.com would have no effect, and so the latter can be safely removed by secure_headers to save bytes.

Unfortunately, this implementation has had various bugs due to the use of "impedance mismatched" APIs like URI¹ and File.fnmatch². For example, it made incorrect assumptions about source expression schemes, leading to the following series of events:

• 2017-03: A bug was reported and confirmed
• 2022-04: The bug was finally fixed by @keithamus (a Hubber) in 2022 due to our use of web sockets.
• 2022-06: This fix in turn triggered a new bug with source expressions like data:.
• 2022-06: An external contributor submitted a fix for the bew bug, but this still doesn't address some of the "fast and loose" semantic issues of the underlying implementation.
• 2022-08: @lgarron drafted a new implementation that semantically parses and compares source expressions based on the specification for source expressions.
  • This implementation already proved to have some value in early testing, as its stricter validation caught an issue in github.com's CSP. However, it would take additional work to make this implementation fully aware of CSP syntax (e.g. not allowing URL source expressions in a source directive when only special keywords are allowed, and vice-versa), and it relies on a new regex-based implementation of source expression parsing that may very well lead to more subtle bugs.

In effect, this is a half feature whose maintenance cost has outweighed its functionality:

• The relevant code has suffered from continued bugs, described as above.
• Deduplication is purely a "nice-to-have" — it is not necessary for the security or correct functionality of secure_headers.
• It was introduced by @oreoshake (the then-maintainer) without explanation in 2015, never "officially" documented. We have no concrete data on whether it has any performance impact on any real apps — for all we know, uncached deduplication calculations might even cost more than the saved header bytes.
• Further, in response to the first relevant bug, @oreoshake himself said:

I've never been a fan of the deduplication based on * anyways. Maybe we should just rip that out.

Like people trying to save a few bytes can optimize elsewhere.

So this PR completely removes the functionality. If we learn of a use case where this was very important (and the app somehow can't preprocess the list before passing it to secure_headers), we can always resume consideration of one of:

• fix source dedup breaking with port wildcards #490
• Semantically parse and deduplicate source expressions #498
