If breaking `project/foo.cc <=> project/bar.cc` is OK, then could we also break 
`some/path/here/foo.cc <=> some/other/path/bar.cc`?

In that case we can just prevent `Comparator.equivalent(FileA,FileB)` calls 
when `llvm::sys::path::filename(FileA) != llvm::sys::path::filename(FileB)`.
I tried this locally:

- it works fast.
- does not break tests.
- easy to add unit test for `FileMatchTrie`.

What do you think?
