cabal-install cannot pass package ids to the build process

Description

The solver determines an install plan that fixes package ids of installed packages.

However, the Setup interface currently does not allow us to specify package ids once we start building; we can only fix the versions.

This can lead to problems in situations where multiple instances of the same package version are installed on a system, and the install plan selects one, but we cannot uniquely communicate that to the builder.
