Modules should only be listed once across all prerequisite categories.

E.g. a 'requires' module shouldn't be listed in 'test_requires'; a
'configure_requires' module shouldn't be listed in 'build_requires'.

Instead, the spec should define which combinations of categories should be

available at which stages of the install process.  (Dagolden)

I do not see the benefit of forcing such a requirement.
