This patch fixes Capstone build on NixOS (assuming next is v6, this PR should be backported to v5 as well).

NixOS's build infrastructure sets CMAKE_INSTALL_{LIB,INCLUDE}DIR to absolute paths. Fedora used to do this until 2012, but doesn't set it at all anymore. If you append it to ${prefix}, you get the wrong path. NixOS automatically detects it and links this issue: NixOS/nixpkgs#144170

The other uses of CMAKE_INSTALL_{LIB,INCLUDE}DIR shouldn't be an issue.

This patch fixes Capstone 5 build on NixOS.

This PR breaks a fundamental assumption of CMake packages, which is that they are independent of the absolute folder they are installed in...

Just to add the relevant snippet from the GNUInstallDirs documentation:

These variables shouldn't be used in install() commands as they do not work with the cmake --install command's --prefix option, or with the cpack installer generators.
