What this PR does / why we need it:
Before this fix, we were including the relative path to a file from project root in the string to be hashed when calculating versions.
This was problematic when linking remote sources, since the chosen name and path of the locally linked repo would be factored into the version (resulting in unwanted cache misses).
This was fixed by using the relative path from the directory containing the file's parent config. For example, an action's directory should be able to be moved around or renamed without it affecting the version of that action.
