libtomcrypt.pc contains DESTDIR in prefix #232

Description

@andreyv

When building the library with makefile.shared, the generated libtomcrypt.pc contains DESTDIR as prefix.

DESTDIR normally denotes a staging root directory where software is installed and then archived. E.g., if the installation prefix was /usr and DESTDIR was /tmp/package-root, the full installation path would be /tmp/package-root/usr, and then a package would be created from /tmp/package-root, containing usr/* entries inside. With the current makefiles DESTDIR serves the role of the installation prefix instead and there is no separate way to actually specify a staging directory.
