Factor out common duplicate paths

When trying to understand where duplicate dependencies are coming from, the trees displayed by default by cargo deny check
are quite helpful. However, in some common cases I think they could be easier to navigate. For example, consider the windows target crates, which are a common source of duplicate dependencies for me:
- windows-sys 0.48 and windows-sys 0.52 each get pulled into the dependency graph
- Each of these depend on respective windows-targets versions (0.48.x and 0.52.x)
- The windows-targets crate then pulls in all of the following:
- windows_aarch64_gnullvm
- windows_aarch64_msvc
- windows_i686_gnu
- windows_i686_msvc
- windows_x86_64_gnu
- windows_x86_64_gnullvm
- windows_x86_64_msvc
The current output from cargo deny takes... a lot of scrolling to explain this:
(Too long to paste into a GitHub comment.)
Describe the solution you'd like
Would be great to eliminate common subgraphs when explaining duplicate dependencies.
