Do our best to limit visiting paths to at most once, in preparation for allowing multiple paths to be specified in a search-and-replace operation. If we didn't do this, multiple path cases like this would be handled incorrectly: ``` $ cat a.txt foo $ # We want to replace `foo` with `foobar`... ruplacer foo foobar a.txt a.txt <snip> $ # ...but we got `foobarbar` instead: $ cat a.txt foobarbar ``` It's important to note what the trade-off for deduplication is. For each path, we now call `std::fs::canonicalize`, and put the canonicalized path in a set built using the the [`patricia_tree` crate] for somewhat efficiently storage. Interestingly, the above is also a potential issue with following symlinks, which has never been allowed before. Perhaps this change could make it sufficiently safe to add an option for following symlinks? [`patricia_tree` crate]: https://docs.rs/patricia_tree/0.3.1/

Intended to resolve #51, pending discussion (there's some trade-offs!). See individual commits for more details on changes.
Open questions:
refactor: skip duplicate canonicalized paths) is a good candidate.
