CMake compatibilty
GNUInstallDirs is available in 3.10:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.10/module/GNUInstallDirs.html.
Reasoning
Linux distributions usually have profiles for CMake that set these directories
to the right locations. This change will make packaging easier.
Other
I have left the old variables intact for backwards compatibility.
