remote: Make ref_remove_duplicates faster for large numbers of refs

The ref_remove_duplicates function was very slow at dealing with very
large numbers of refs.  This is because it was using a linear search
through all remaining refs to find any duplicates of the current ref.

Rewriting it to use a string list to keep track of which refs have
already been seen and removing duplicates when they are found is much
more efficient.
