Eliminate assoc type projection predicate candidate duplicates

When projecting associate types for a trait's default methods, the
trait itself was added to the predicate candidate list twice: one from
parameter environment, the other from trait definition. Then the
duplicates were deemed as code ambiguity and the compiler rejected the
code. Simply checking and dropping the duplicates solves the issue.

Closes rust-lang#22036
