Description

There are a number of duplicate dependencies in our crate graph, adding to compile times. cargo tree might help to find them. Eliminate a many as possible.

Create a whitelist of allowed dupes, and a CI script that checks it; to avoid regressions, and ensure we know when we're adding dupes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Run `cargo tree d` to list duplicate dependencies, then eliminate them by updating Cargo.toml to use unified versions. Create a whitelist of unavoidable duplicates and add a CI script using `cargo tree d` to check for new duplicates.
