Naked files generated their ids using the attributes that are common to both naked and clothed files. But naked files also support Subdirectory to magic up a subdirectory in a specified directory (Directory) or the default INSTALLFOLDER. That subdirectory needs to factor in to the generated file id (which is then used as the component id too). Without it, generated ids for files with the same name but from different Subdirectory values would be duplicated. (Authored file ids must also continue to be supported.)

Naked files now generate different file and component ids. :(

Fixes wixtoolset/issues#8674
