Fix project-find-regexp in remote projects

* lisp/progmodes/xref.el (xref--hits-file-prefix):
New variable.  Something to prepend to each file name (bug#69233).
(xref--convert-hits): Use it to also store the "default directory"
part of the filename conditionally on whether it's remote.
(xref--collect-matches): Use the new variable here.
