Make sysconfdir, localstatedir and sharedstatedir defaults depend on prefix
Rather than requiring a bit of boilerplate in every meson.build, which is
only documented in a comment in mesoncore.py, use sensible defaults for
sysconfdir, localstatedir and sharedstatedir depending on the prefix.
Fixes #1637
v2:
For clarity, give get_builtin_option_default() a noneIfSuppress argument,
rather than overloading prefix '' and None with special meanings.
