Deduplicate ParamCandidates with the same value except for bound vars

Fixes #84398

This is kind of a hack. I wonder if we can get other types of candidates that are the same except for bound vars. This won't be a problem with Chalk, since we don't really need to know that there are two different "candidates" if they both give the same final substitution.
