So now the new approach is much simpler : 1. parse requirement strings and extract directives before developer package's creation 2. redo step 1. in package pre-processing 3. build process...

Found a way to apply harden directives back to variant before building variant payload and without re-running whole developer package loading process. 🎉

Somehow, the implementation pass the test, but not working with actual `rez-build` command. In `rez-build` command, `DeveloperPackage.directives` become an empty dict when the build process is going to evaluate them....
