Database denial-of-service with ``ModelMultipleChoiceField``
============================================================
Given a form that uses ``ModelMultipleChoiceField`` and
``show_hidden_initial=True`` (not a documented API), it was possible for a user
to cause an unreasonable number of SQL queries by submitting duplicate values
for the field's data. The validation logic in ``ModelMultipleChoiceField`` now
deduplicates submitted values to address this issue.
