destdir: Allow relative to build directory
Meson already works like that, except in do_copydir() that requires absolute destdir. Better explicitly support that instead of leaving it undefined and unconsistent.

+## Install DESTDIR relative to build directory
+
+When `DESTDIR` environment or `meson install --destdir` option is a relative path,
+it is now assumed to be relative to the build directory. An absolute path will be
+set into environment when executing scripts. It was undefined behavior in prior
+Meson versions but was working as relative to build directory most of the time.
