Enhance slug deduplication and metadata handling in syncback process

- Introduced a new method `dedup_against_dir` to deduplicate slugified names against existing entries in a parent directory, improving collision handling during file operations.
- Updated the `syncback_added_instance` method to utilize sibling slug sets, ensuring new instances do not overwrite existing files or directories.
- Refactored `strip_middleware_extension` to be publicly accessible for broader use in deduplication logic.
- Improved comments and code organization for better clarity in the slugification and deduplication processes.
