```
std.build: make Builder.install_prefix non optional

This is useful for build.zig files to check in some cases, for example
to adhere to the convention of installing config to /etc instead of
/usr/etc on linux when using the /usr prefix. Perhaps std.build will
handle such common cases eventually, but that is not yet the case.
