pagerduty.dedupKey() function

pagerduty.dedupKey() uses the group key of an input table to generate and store a deduplication key in the _pagerdutyDedupKeycolumn. The function sorts, newline-concatenates, SHA256-hashes, and hex-encodes the group key to create a unique deduplication key for each input table.

Function type signature
(<-tables: stream[A], ?exclude: [string]) => stream[{A with _pagerdutyDedupKey: string}]
