./configure --help lists incorrect default install location

[chrismarx]

When you run ./configure —help, it says:

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

But installing the latest 3.4dev build (​http://postgis.net/stuff/postgis-2.4.0dev.tar.gz), the files are instead installed to "/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/"

Not much of a problem, it's still easy enough to find out where they went, but they're certainly not where the documention indicates-

The files actually go into *two* locations. The liblwgeom files go into /usr/local and the postgresql files (postgis.so, extension control, etc) go into whatever pgsql install location pg_config returned. It's hard to describe in one line of help text…

And, that help string is generated by autoconf, not us, while if you do manually set the —prefix we do try and give you a huge warning
