feat: add dedupePeers option to reduce peer dependency duplication (#11079)

When enabled, peer dependency suffixes use version-only identifiers
(name@version) instead of full dep paths, eliminating nested suffixes
like (foo@1.0.0(bar@2.0.0)). Transitive peers are still tracked but
identified by version instead of full dep path.

Backport of #11071 to v10.

Closes #11070

+Added a new `dedupePeers` setting that reduces peer dependency duplication. When enabled, peer dependency suffixes use version-only identifiers (`name@version`) instead of full dep paths, eliminating nested suffixes like `(foo@1.0.0(bar@2.0.0))`. This dramatically reduces the number of package instances in projects with many recursive peer dependencies [#11070](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/11070).
