Reordering shouldn't be a problem for us because it's easy to search
through a relatively short list for an ARC field bearing a particular "i="
value.  If the only thing that ever happens is reordering, we should still
be fine (a la DKIM's "h" tag).

Duplication is arguably fine as long as the duplicate is identical to the
original, but I think once you have to go so far as to evaluate that, the
chain has actually been directly affected, and it's fine to give up.
