core: deduplicate identical dm-verity ExtensionImages=
It turns out OverlayFS doesn't handle gracefully when the same source is
specified multiple times in lowerdir= and it fails with ELOOP:
Failed to mount overlay (type overlay) on /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/opt (MS_RDONLY "lowerdir=/run/systemd/unit-extensions/1/opt:/run/systemd/unit-extensions/0/opt:/run/systemd/mount-rootfs/opt"): Too many levels of symbolic links
This happens even if we mount each image in a different internal mount
path, as OverlayFS will resolve it and look for the backing device, which
will be the same device mapper entity, and return a hard error.
This error does not appear if dm-verity is not used, so it is very
confusing for users, and unnecessary.
When mounting ExtensionImages, check if an image is dm-veritied,
and drop duplicates if the root hashes match, to avoid this user-unfriendly
hard error.
