Turns out that when DESTDIR is used, the PREFIX dir almost never exists
(such as if DESTDIR points to a build root).

Before DESTDIR support was added, mkit would rely on PREFIX itself.
Now, checks will be done on DESTDIR itself, which must be set internally
in mkit.ini or inherited.  PREFIX is actually considered only inside
mkit.ini itself.

DESTDIR[1] can be now set to specify the root in situations such as when
building a package or installing to a chrooted environment.

If not specified by environment variable (eg. by make) or in mkit.ini,
the default value is governed by MKIT_DEFAULT_DESTDIR, which defaults to
"/".

Actually ShellCheck was *right* that the variable expansion needed to
take care of spaces in paths, but the fix (g:b68913c in ffoo repo) was
totally wrong and only broke things.

Lessons learned:

 *  *Do* run ShellCheck et al., but still **DO CAREFULLY** consider
    effects in the particular context.

 *  Too much coffee, repetitive work *and* distraction is a good way
    to ask for trouble.
