crypto,tls: perf improvements for crypto and tls getCiphers

Improve performance of crypto.getCiphers, getHashes, getCurves
and tls.getCiphers by consolidating filterDuplicates logic, adding
caching of output, and streamlining filterDuplicates implementation.

Benchmarks:

crypto.getCiphers n=1    v6.2.1 = 2559.3, new = 15890 ...... -83.89%
crypto.getCiphers n=5000 v6.2.1 = 3516.3, new = 24203000 ... -99.99%

tls.getCiphers    n=1    v6.2.1 = 3405.3, new = 14877 ...... -77.11%
tls.getCiphers    n=5000 v6.2.1 = 6074.4, new = 24202000 ... -99.97%
