Assign the first member when set() meets duplicate keys again

Lookups find the first member of a repeated key again, so set(object, key,
value) assigns that member (keeping the key where it is) and drops the
others, as documented before, and a view taken from object[key] shows the
new value. This undoes the code and documentation changes of 5cbb8e6d6.
Lookups in edited objects (navigation of editable documents) stop at the
first match, like those of parsed objects.

The tests that commit added expect the first member from lookups now. In the
seeded differential test, the documents with repeated keys repeat them after
the real members; the reference holds the first members, which the edits
address and the lookups are compared with, while materialize() is compared
with what parse() makes of the document's dump.
