Multiple copies of a workspace do not properly share a cache directory

[FrozenPandaz]

Current Behavior

The hash for a project includes an absolute path of the configPath when configuration is in standalone configs

This means that the cache is not shared due to the hash being different.

Expected Behavior

The hash for a project should not include the config path.

Thus the cache should be shared.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/nrwl/nx-examples twice and set cacheDirectory in the taskRunnerOptions in nx.json in both clones of the repo to somewhere outside of the repos (/tmp/nx-cache).

2. Set the 2 clones to same commit.

3. Run nx build cart in clone 1 (This should not be cached)

4. Run nx build cart in clone 2 (This is expected to be cached but currently is not.
