ebuild-env-vars: Require DISTDIR & FILESDIR to be consistent
Require both DISTDIR and FILESDIR variables to have consistent value
across phases. We need to guarantee that the value used in global scope
to propagate PATCHES array will be still valid in src_prepare().
Furthermore, as Ulrich Müller points out that PMS requires ebuilds to
recalculate any value derived from inconsistent variables, therefore
colliding with the global-scope assignment.
