ebuild-writing/functions/pkg_nofetch: Do not reference DISTDIR.
According to PMS, the DISTDIR variable is not valid in pkg_* phases.
In addition, it is not guaranteed to be consistent across the ebuild
environment. So the package manager is allowed to (and Portage does)
redefine it to point to a temporary "shadow" instead of the global
distfiles directory.
