Makefile: fix DESTDIR environment variable behaviour

Browse Source 
The DESTDIR environment variable is used in the wrong way: since 30+ years
it's common practise using it for specifying *temporary* target *root*
(where eg. packaging infrastructure picks up the install image), instead
of the installation *prefix* on the final target.

Fixing this by introducing PREFIX variable (with default /usr/local) and
using both variables according to the 30 years matured common practise.
That way, distro packagers and other standardized build/installation
systems can easily do correct deployments w/o individual hacks.

changes v2: removed variables not used yet
            added documentation

sudo make install
```
The install prefix can be changed by passing the `PREFIX` variable (defaults
to `/usr/local`).
Note: if you set one of these vars, set them to the same values on all make stages
(build as well as install).
If you want to prepend an additional prefix on actual installation (eg. packaging or chroot install),
you can pass it via `DESTDIR` variable:
```sudo
sudo make install DESTDIR=/tmp/install-x973234/
```
The above command installs the `containerd` binary to `/tmp/install-x973234/usr/local/bin/containerd`
The current `DESTDIR` convention is supported since containerd v1.6.
Older releases was using `DESTDIR` for a different purpose that is similar to `PREFIX`.
When making any changes to the gRPC API, you can use the installed `protoc`
compiler to regenerate the API generated code packages with:
