Auto merge of #118273 - AngelicosPhosphoros:dedup_2_loops_version_77772_2, r=the8472

Split `Vec::dedup_by` into 2 cycles

First cycle runs until we found 2 same elements, second runs after if there any found in the first one. This allows to avoid any memory writes until we found an item which we want to remove.

This leads to significant performance gains if all `Vec` items are kept: -40% on my benchmark with unique integers.

Results of benchmarks before implementation (including new benchmark where nothing needs to be removed):

Resolves #77772

P.S. Note that this is same PR as #92104 I just missed review then forgot about it.
Also, I cannot reopen that pull request so I am creating a new one.
I responded to remaining questions directly by adding commentaries to my code.
