[PATCH 5/9] Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command invocation path

[Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If $(gitexecdir) is relative, it is interpreted relative to the command's
invocation path, which usually is $(bindir).

The Makefile rules were written with the assumption that $(gitexecdir) is
an absolute path. We introduce a separate variable that names the
(absolute) installation directory.
