Currently, variant subpaths are based on that variant's requirements. This is problematic for variants with conflict/range requirements.

Add a mode (enabled via a new 'hashed_variants' pkg attrib) which places variants into subpaths which are a sha256(?) hash of the variant (ie, of its requirements).

This will create unwieldy install paths, however I have thoughts on a separate feature to address this.
