Describe the bug

I am feeding solc 0.8.25 with the output of forge verify-contract --show-standard-json-input. I expect the emitted JSON to be valid for compiler input in standard JSON mode but it does not. There is a workaround, so this must be a minor bug in the specified forge version. For example, :

forge verify-contract --show-standard-json-input 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 input.sol > solc.input.json

 ./solc --standard-json solc.input.json
 
{
   "errors":[
      {
         "component":"general",
         "formattedMessage":"* Line 1, Column 196011\n  Duplicate key: '../lib/evm/PriceOracle.sol'\n* Line 1, Column 204189\n  Extra non-whitespace after JSON value.\n",
         "message":"* Line 1, Column 196011\n  Duplicate key: '../lib/evm/IPriceOracle.sol'\n* Line 1, Column 204189\n  Extra non-whitespace after JSON value.\n",
         "severity":"error",
         "type":"JSONError"
      }
   ]
}

After applying some cleanup with:

cat solc.input.json | jq > solc.input.clean.json

solc 0.8.25 accepts this JSON as input without problem.
