DESTDIR support patch

Hello,

the attached patch adds DESTDIR variable support
to the emacs build system, thus enabling staged
installs.

I have then run tests along these lines:

# start by configuring the package with a custom
# prefix
 
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/claudio/tmp

# bootstrap normally as required
$ make bootstrap

# redirect installation
$ make install DESTDIR=/home/claudio/install-destdir

# check that no DESTDIR has been forgotten
$ ls /home/claudio/tmp
ls: /home/claudio/tmp: No such file or directory

# check that the staged installation works correctly
# in its final place

$ cd /home/claudio/install-destdir
$ mv home/claudio/tmp /home/claudio

$ cd /home/claudio/tmp/bin
$ ./emacs testfile.txt
...

And everything runs fine here.
Please consider for review/apply.

Note:
the patch is a p0 unified diff:

$ cd $top_srcdir
$ patch -p0 < /path/to/DESTDIR.p0.udiff
