Stephen Kelly fe057ab3cd Allow disabling adding the install prefix to the prefix search path.
In certain scenarios, it is preferable to keep a 'dirty' install prefix
than to clear it, and to expect that content will not be found there.
Add a CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX variable that can be set to disable
searching the install prefix.

CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX
----------------------------
Ignore the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` when searching for assets.
CMake adds the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to the
:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH` by default. This variable may be set
on the command line to control that behavior.
Set :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX` to TRUE to tell find_package not
to search in the :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` by default. Note that the
prefix may still be searched for other reasons, such as being the same prefix
as the CMake installation, or for being a built-in system prefix.
