```
stage2: eliminate the "compiler id" concept

Instead, append a "dirty suffix" to the version string when there are
dirty git changes and use the version string as the compiler id.

This avoids a dependency on the cache hash system, and saves time on
first invocation of the compiler since it does not have to compute its
compiler id. It also saves time by not having to check the cache for a
saved compiler id.

```
