uniqueItems validator

(spec for uniqueItems validator)

It's incredibly slow the way it's currently written. Got any hints on how to check an []interface{} for uniqueness of elements?

Hmm, are we just comparing simple objects like strings and numbers, or objects too?

Objects too: https://github.com/json-schema/JSON-Schema-Test-Suite/blob/develop/tests/draft4/uniqueItems.json#L40

That's basically impossible to do in a performant way. Leave it for now. If it becomes an issue in the future we'll have to implement our own hash algorithm that can hash any object (ugh).
