The user may avoid path deduplication by passing absolute paths to mmv. For example, if the user gives a path to a relative file and an absolute path to the same file, both will appear in the editing buffer, allowing for them to conduct dangerous naming operations. This commit initializes deduplication for this edge case. If the user gives the "resolve paths" option, they will receive absolute paths back. If they do not, they will receive the paths the entered as is, but with duplicates removed. This allows for a mix of relative and absolute paths.
Add a new GIF displaying extended deduplication and an explanation of the GIF.
