alsa-mixer: Detect and then drop pointless paths in the path set.

In order to try and avoid 'spamming' the user with port choices,
attempt to detect and remove any pointless paths in a path set. That is
any paths which are subsets of other paths.

This should solve a problem case with some USB Headsets which result in
two paths both involving the 'Speaker' element. When no 'Master' element
exists (which is quite common on head/handsets), then the first path
(analog-output) will contain the 'Speaker' in a way that completely fits
with in the use of the 'Speaker' element in the other path
(analog-output-speaker).
