    tools: bpftool: unify installation directories · 507e590d
    Quentin Monnet authored
    Programs and documentation not managed by package manager are generally
    installed under /usr/local/, instead of the user's home directory. In
    particular, `man` is generally able to find manual pages under
    `/usr/local/share/man`.
    
    bpftool generally follows perf's example, and perf installs to home
    directory. However bpftool requires root credentials, so it seems
    sensible to follow the more common convention of installing files under
    /usr/local instead. So, make /usr/local the default prefix for
    installing the binary with `make install`, and the documentation with
    `make doc-install`. Also, create /usr/local/sbin if it does not exist.
    
    Note that the bash-completion file, however, is still installed under
    /usr/share/bash-completion/completions, as the default setup for bash
    does not attempt to load completion files under /usr/local/.
