docs/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.md: document that the deduplication is applied only when exporting data in JSON line format

Browse source 
The exported data isn't de-duplicated by default due to performance reasons.
It is expected that the de-duplication is applied during importing the exported data.

The deduplication is applied only when exporting data via /api/v1/export if `reduce_mem_usage=1` query arg isn't passed to the request.
