Change the behavior of the DESTDIR make variable

DESTDIR is a common make idiom.  As per the GNU coding standards

  https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html

  "DESTDIR is a variable prepended to each installed target file, like
  this:

  $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) foo $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/foo
  $(INSTALL_DATA) libfoo.a $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libfoo.a

  The DESTDIR variable is specified by the user on the make command
  line as an absolute file name. For example:

  make DESTDIR=/tmp/stage install

  DESTDIR should be supported only in the install* and uninstall*
  targets, as those are the only targets where it is useful.

  If your installation step would normally install /usr/local/bin/foo
  and /usr/local/lib/libfoo.a, then an installation invoked as in the
  example above would install /tmp/stage/usr/local/bin/foo and
  /tmp/stage/usr/local/lib/libfoo.a instead."

The current Makefile.in uses DESTDIR, but has a slightly non-standard
behavior: the target install location doesn't include "$prefix".  This
breaks package managers, because stuff ends up getting installed to
the wrong location.

Unfortunately the only way I can think of to fix this involves
silently changing the behavior of DESTDIR.  Hopefully nobody is using
it...?
