This module should delete duplicating attribute records and update vector
feature CATs to point to single entry.

Possible workflow:
  * Find all rows with matching attributes (only primary key differs) =
duplicate set
  * From duplicate set select a row with smallest CAT to keep
  * Update vector feature CATs from duplicate set to point to selected CAT
  * Delete all duplicate set records except the one with smallest CAT
