#36612: path:-style dep allows non-macports file inside macports prefix

--------------------+--------------------------------
When MacPorts encounters a path:-style dependency, it will allow a non-
MacPorts file that is within the MacPorts prefix to satisfy the
installation. This doesn't make sense, since MacPorts should be master of
its own directories. Logs are attached showing that a package is not
installed, yet its files are found and used inside the MacPorts prefix.
This most prevalent cause of this problem is someone installing a dmg/pkg
from MacPorts, which will install files right into the MacPorts prefix by
default.
MacPorts might also consider cowardly failing if there's an attempt to
generate a dmg/pkg using the default prefix.
