What
Reduce the deduper to only tracking job creation and deletion.
Why
A finished job (complete or failed) still exists in the cluster for some time afterwards. So (for deduplication purposes) it should still be treated as in-flight all the way until it is deleted.
This fixes a gap in #438: suppose a job fails without starting a pod. The controller will try to recreate it and fail. With #438 the job will remain in the deduping map and won't be removed, meaning that even once the job is cleaned up through TTL, the controller won't try to create it again. With this PR, the deduping map no longer contains the job after deletion.
