This reverts commit 8242187eb0.
This same change was previously introduced in #12495 / commit
30ab9747ae and subsequently reverted
in #12672 / commit 2fbc7b5ce3
Reintroduced in #13819 but it's still the same old problem. To repeat
the problem:
This breaks at least:
- frameworks/17 mpi
- frameworks/30 scalapack
The problem is that openmpi's pkg-config emitted link arguments
includes:
```
-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/path/to/libdir
```
The deduplication logic in meson doesn't contain sufficient information
to tell when the compiler is passing an argument that requires values,
and definitely cannot tell when that argument is split across argv. But
for arguments that *can* do this, it is not possible to deduplicate a
single argument as standalone, because it is not standalone.
The argument for deduplicating rpath here was that if you have multiple
dependencies that all add the same rpath, the Apple ld64 emits a
non-fatal warning "duplicate -rpath ignored". Since this is non-fatal,
it's not a major issue. A major issue is when builds fatally error out
with:
```

```
Today we have CI for this so the change actually caused our own unittest
CI to go red.
