Historically, policy statement deduplicating was done during policy rendering. There could be a 100 statements in a policy, but if they were all the same it would only render as 1 statement. When we introduced policy splitting, those 100 equal statements would *first* be divided into Overflow policies before being deduplicated (potentially leading to too many policies being created, hitting limits). Especially CDK Pipelines takes heavy advantage of the deduplicating behavior, and adds the same policies over and over again, leading to overflows. When the `minimizePolicies` feature flag is turned on, duplicate elimitation is implicitly performed (because equal statements count as mergeable), but when the feature flag is off we hit the bad behavior. As a fix, do deduplication even if merging is turned off.
