fix(setup): delete repeated JSON members in one pass

Deleting repeats one at a time still copied the whole document once per
member, so tens of thousands of repeats in a large file cost k x n work.
All removal spans now come from one syntax tree and the text is rebuilt
once. A separator stays only between members that remain, plus a JSONC
trailing separator while any member remains, and comments outside the
removed members keep their bytes. The single-member deletion from #4957
is unchanged. Removing 20,000 repeats drops from 35.8 s to 0.46 s.
