The README and the spec comment said that a project two paths load with
different lists ends up in the program twice. They now say the build
stops, with an error that names both paths.

```
The sibling's `CrafterBuildProject` gets the args this `project.cpp` was loaded with (`ProjectArgs()`), so `--target=`, `--march=`, `--debug` and the project's own flags reach every sibling down the chain. That is all of them: `cfg.projectArgs` holds only what `ApplyStandardArgs` did not interpret, and passing it on would drop the target and the build type. Set `.args` to send something else: `{}` for nothing, or a list built from the project's args, such as one without a flag only this project reads. Build such a list once and give it to every sibling. A project that two paths load with different lists is built twice, and the program ends up with both builds. Releases up to 2.2.0 forward nothing when `.args` is left out.

The default is read when the spec is made, so make it inside `CrafterBuildProject`, on the thread that calls it. A spec made at namespace scope, on a thread of your own or in a script forwards nothing.
