What
Use a hash map to lookup hashed results and host details in order to filter duplicates that may exist in the same batch of results fetched from the scanner.
Why
Not all duplicate results from the scanner were filtered since OSP results are fetched while the scan is running and duplicates
can exist in the same batch of fetched results even before insertion in the database.

Tested in local development environment by modifying ospd-openvas to duplicate every result and checking that duplicated results are filtered out after the fix.
