        <pre>Summary:
ContentViewContainer can have redundant back-forward entries content view close. The container guards against adding a BackForwardEntry with the same ContentView/cookie as the current entry, but doesn't check that consecutive entries are unique after replacing/splicing an entry in the list.

Note:
This doesn't seem to cause any bad behavior, but it can make ContentViewContainer debugging unnecessarily complicated and would be nice to fix.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Inspector
2. Switch back and forth between two tabs (Debugger/Elements) multiple times.
3. Open Inspector²
4. Console prompt: `WebInspector.tabBrowser._contentViewContainer._backForwardList`
=&gt; Outputs something like:
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: ElementsTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: ElementsTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: ElementsTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    ...

5. Close Elements tab
6. Re-run script in Inspector²
=&gt; Expected:
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
=&gt; Actual:
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
    BackForwardEntry {_listeners: null, _contentView: DebuggerTabContentView, _tombstone: false, _cookie: {}, _scrollPositions: []}
