Duplicate keys in map lead to dyff finding a diff even if there's not #354

Hey !

Context

We're using dyff to check the difference between 2 rendered Helm template. With Helm you can end up with duplicate keys in a map if for some reason you set some default value in a map that can later be overriden through user input, those duplicate keys lead to dyff finding a diff where there should be none.

Issue

Rendered Helm file

# test.yaml
test:
  element1: test
  element1: test2

Dyff command

dyff between test.yaml test.yaml

Dyff result
