[OE-core] [PATCH] devtool: remove duplicate overrides

DEVTOOL_EXTRA_OVERRIDES only needs one entry for each instance of
overrides. Previous to these changes it would find every override to
SRC_URI and add it to the list. This would duplicate instances where
SRC_URI is modified multiple times with the same override like:
SRC_URI_append_foo += "file://0001-foo.patch"
SRC_URI_append_foo += "file://0002-bar.patch"

A bbappend might also overwrite a SRC_URI override, which would also
cause multiple instances to occur.

When there are multiple instances of the same override in
DEVTOOL_EXTRA_OVERRIDES it causes devtool modify to fail when creating
override branches. The failure occurs when attempting to create the same
override branch a second time and looks like this:

The stack trace of python calls that resulted in this exception/failure was:
