 build system: Ensure there are no duplicate files in bindist list

 Several executables inexplicably appear twice in bindist.list, which
 ends up producing multiple tar file entries, consequently breaking BSD
 tar during extraction. I spent a fair amount of time trying to work out
 where these duplicates were coming from to no avail. Since Hadrian is
 right around the corner I'm satisfied with a terrible hack: just uniq
 bindist.list before producing the bindist tarball.

 Test Plan: Validate
