Fixed an issue where duplicate GcsSource uris (which represent input files for the optimization requests) were accepted in BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs for the BatchOptimizeTours API. Now GcsSource uris must be unique across all BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs in a single BatchOptimizeTours API call. This is desirable behavior to avoid processing the same request twice in case of accidental input duplication.

Fixed an issue where duplicate GcsDestination uris (which represent output files for the optimization responses) were accepted in BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs for the BatchOptimizeTours API. Now GcsDestination uris must be unique across all BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs in a single BatchOptimizeTours API call. This is desirable behavior to fail the BatchOptimizeTours call earlier as the call will not be able to complete successfully if enough output files are not provided.
