This PR replaces the custom commands for install targets with the CMake
install()command. Additionally, it usesGNUInstallDirs.cmake[1] to install to different types of files to the right location.Additionally,
GNUInstallDirsallows the user to override the install location of different types of files with well-known variable names (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR,-DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR,...).This makes it much easier to package the software for a package manager.
