Enforce strict strategies parsing rule: Reject duplicate strategy in --strategies (#545)

`cargo-binstall` should reject duplicate strategy in `--strategies` as it is illegal input and it cannot be interpreted reasonably.

* Reject duplicate strategy in `--strategies`
* Optimize `compute_resolvers`: Use `Vec::retain`
   instead of `Iterator::filter` plus collecting into `Vec`.
* Optimize `compute_resolvers`: Reject `strategies.len() > Strategy::COUNT`
* Improve err msg for cases where user disabled all strategies
* Simplify `BinstallError::InvalidStrategies`: Takes `&'static str`
   instead of `&'static &'static str` since other variants are larger than 8B.
