build: fixed PREFIX usage
This change fixes the use of PREFIX by not hard wiring /usr into the path.
Besides that if no PREFIX is provided by the user, it is set to /usr/local now
which is considered to be the right location for most LSB conforming distros if
the user is compiling from sources to not interfere with the package management
for binary packages which are build using /usr as prefix in most of the cases.
current behavior without setting PREFIX will most likely interfere
with most distro package managers when building from source:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo make uninstall
RM /usr/sbin/netsniff-ng
RM /usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz
RM /usr/sbin/trafgen
RM /usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz
RM /usr/sbin/astraceroute
RM /usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz
RM /usr/sbin/ifpps
RM /usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz
RM /usr/sbin/bpfc
RM /usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz
RM /usr/sbin/curvetun
RM /usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz
------------------------------------------------------------------------
current behavior when setting PREFIX=/usr/local looks kind of weird
because of the hard wired /usr:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local uninstall
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/netsniff-ng
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/trafgen
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/astraceroute
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/ifpps
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/bpfc
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz
RM /usr/local/usr/sbin/curvetun
RM /usr/local/usr/share/man/man8/curvetun.8.gz
------------------------------------------------------------------------
using the proposed fix without setting PREFIX:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ sudo make uninstall
RM /usr/local/sbin/netsniff-ng
RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.gz
RM /usr/local/sbin/trafgen
RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/trafgen.8.gz
RM /usr/local/sbin/astraceroute
RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/astraceroute.8.gz

RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.gz
RM /usr/local/sbin/bpfc
RM /usr/local/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.gz
