This is the counterpart to the duplicate dictionary key linter in pyflakes: PyCQA/pyflakes#72
Pyflakes only emits an error if the values are different for the duplicate keys. This lint copies most of the logic but does the opposite - when we have multiple identical keys with the identical values, we emit an error on all but the first entry.
As with Pyflakes, it only works when the keys & values are tuples, literals, or variable names. Any other syntax will be treated as if they were different.
This could have been much simpler if we could just emit an error on all duplicate keys regardless of their values, but the conversation in the PR for B033 (#373) indicated that we should avoid duplication with Pyflakes.
