Some distributions aim at shipping all files in /usr.

The path under which kernel modules are installed is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.

When kmod provides the config command, use it to determine the correct
module installation path.

With kmod that does not provide the config command /lib/modules is used
as before.

v2: Avoid error on systems with kmod that does not support config
command
v3: More verbose commit message
v4:
  - Document jq requirement
  - fix bashism
  - Update to getting full module path, not just additional prefix
v5: switch to pkgconfig

As I replied in another thread, Kbuild already provides
the max flexibility.

Please do not send this any more. NACK.
