To allow clean separation of what requires PGP verification and what doesn't, we want to store remote binpkgs in a different location. This has other advantages too as it's generally cleaner - having the source of the files is always going to be useful.

Default location in binrepos.conf to location = /var/cache/binhost/${NAME} for this.

Default `location` in `binrepos.conf` to `location = /var/cache/binhost/${NAME}`
for this. Make sure to exclude `PORTAGE_BINHOST` because it's not clear
what the implicit name would be there, it is deprecated anyway.
