Follows #27823
This PR removes a list of all previously seen paths. The problem with this list is twofold. Primarily, it is unlimited in size. Although minor, this could grow indefinitely in some situations. Secondarily, it adds unnecessary complexity to the codebase.
The new approach simply logs a message whenever we open a file with contents which we've not seen in recent memory. Basically, it relies on the same mechanisms we use for tracking files for the purpose of whether or not to read them. While this is a slight change in user-facing functionality, I think it is reasonable considering the benefits.
