fix(build): give the existence cache a per-minor view of the slot (#191)
## Motivation

A restarted run recompiled everything it had already built.

```
attempted:                  8683
already exists in S3:          3
actually compiled:          8683
```

`amd64/resolute` had uploaded roughly 3000 binaries before being restarted, and rebuilt all of them.

## Cause

This is a regression from #189, which I introduced.

`s3_cache.rds` is derived from the same `file_names` that #189 filtered:

```r
binary_cache <- setdiff(file_names, source_served)
saveRDS(binary_cache, "/mnt/cache/packages/s3_cache.rds")
```

Removing per-minor objects from `file_names` was right for the candidate list and wrong for the existence cache. `build_binary_package()` was handed a cache containing no per-minor object at all, so its "not present in the remote bucket" check answered not-present for every one of them.

The two consumers need opposite views of one listing:

- the **candidate list** must ignore per-minor objects, or a package present under one minor prunes itself from every other minor's work;
- the **existence cache** must not ignore them, or the work is redone.

Conflating them was wrong in both directions: before #189 a per-minor pass believed the flat slot's binaries were its own and built nothing; after #189 it believed it had nothing and rebuilt the lot.

## Change

The cache keeps paths relative to the slot, and `build-all.R` selects the part matching the pass it is running. `build_binary_package()` compares basenames and cannot distinguish `4.4/curl_1.0.tar.gz` from `curl_1.0.tar.gz`, so the choice has to be made where the running R minor is known.

Verified:

| pass | selects |
|---|---|
| primary (writes flat) | `curl_1.0`, `jsonlite_2.0`, `Archive/curl_0.9`, `PACKAGES.gz` |
| `--sensitive-only` under 4.4 | `curl_1.0`, `rlang_1.3.0` (from `4.4/` only) |
| `--sensitive-only` under 4.6 | `rlang_1.3.0` (from `4.6/` only) |
| legacy basename cache | passthrough, unfiltered |

`Archive/` counts as present for the primary pass: those are versions built and later superseded.

## Backwards compatibility

A cache written before this change holds bare basenames. Filtering those by path would select nothing and trigger the very rebuild this prevents, so they are detected and used unfiltered; #190's staleness check replaces them on the next pipeline.

## Note on the running builds

The five pipelines currently running are recompiling packages they already have. Their output is still correct — the binaries carry the right `Built` stamp for their slot — but the work is wasted. They should be restarted once this is merged.
