[PATCH v3 14/18] list-files: sort output and remove duplicates

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

When you mix different file types, with ls-files you may get separate
listing. For example, "ls-files -cm" will show file "abc" twice: one
as part of cached list, one of modified list. With "ls" (and this
patch) they will be in a single sorted list (easier for the eye).

Duplicate entries are also removed. Note that display content is
compared, so if you have "-t" on, or you color file types differently,
you will get duplicate textual entries. This is good imo.
