[PATCH] contrib/subtree: fix Makefile to respect non-configure `make`

From: Dan McGee <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

* DESTDIR being defined had no effect.
* prefix was handled inconsistently.
* Unlike the top-level Makefile, this required libexecdir to be defined,
  not gitexecdir.
* The Makefile assumed the git it could use via the shell was the
  correct version, which is not true at all from a packager's
  standpoint. Don't shell out to git at all, use the standard version
  logic like Documentation/ does.

After these changes, it is actually possible to install git-subtree when
packaging git into a temporary install directory, rather than installing
it on the running system.

Packaging this tool in the git package for Arch Linux turned out to be much
more of a process than I expected. We've used the non-configure-based make
system since git has been in our repositories, and it looks like the install
process for this command was never tested with this build system.

The one thing I didn't do here was add some of the sophistication around
relative vs. absolute paths in mandir and gitexecdir that the top-level
Makefile performs. Opinions or thoughts on that? This version will support
relative paths only.
