```
std.Build: correct behavior of `Step.Compile.installHeader`

Previously, `Step.Compile.installHeader` and friends would incorrectly
modify the default `install` top-level step, when the intent was for
headers to get bundled with and installed alongside an artifact. This
change set implements the intended behavior.

This carries with it some breaking changes; `installHeader` and
`installConfigHeader` both have new signatures, and
`installHeadersDirectory` and `installHeadersDirectoryOptions` have been
merged into `installHeaders`.

```
