1. find boot files relative to the executable by default …

   Building on recent support for "%x" everywhere, the change here makes
   the default boot-file search path
   
    "%x:%x/../lib/csv%v/%m:%x/../../boot/%m"
   
   which searches in the immediate directory, then in the place relative
   to the executable's install location to reach installed boot files,
   and then relative to the workarea executable to reach workarea boot
   files. More precisely, the middle path in the default takes into
   account the configured bin and lib target directories.
   
   As a result of this change, it's much easier to run a just-built
   executable before installing it, and installing to a non-system
   directory produces something that you can move around in the
   filesystem.
   
   As a further step to make things work in the default way, `configure`
   now supports `--prefix` as an alias for `--installprefix`.
   
   The `--installabsolute` flag uses the old default search path, which
   is absolute relative to the target installation directory.
