de28285741 fix: Change INSTALL_PREFIX placeholder notation to templating notation (#131)
* refactor: Change INSTALL_PREFIX placeholder notation to templating notation

The former shell notation `$INSTALL_PREFIX` could result confusing. As
this is a placeholder that's replaced in the `make`, we switch it to a
template notation `{{ INSTALL_PREFIX }}`.

* docs: Small fix on README/manual setup

* docs(email-notif): Document the `{{ INSTALL_PREFIX }}` placeholder

9760cd05ec Truly support custom PREFIX= install
* Before, doing `$ PREFIX=/usr/local make install` would install files to`/usr/local/usr/local..` which is wrong
* With this PR, files will be installed to the expected location e.g. `/usr/local/etc/restic`
* `Makefile` almost completely rewritten
   * As e.g. `default.env` would source `_global.env`, `default.env` must be edited to find the right location of `_global.env` depending on what `$PREFIX` was set to.
   * see documented build stages in the `Makefile` itself.
   *  Made sure that the rules are correct so that only modifed files are installed, not all at once unnecessarily like before.
* A sub-goal was that the [PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=restic-systemd-automatic-backup#n20) for Arch should not need to do any custom install configuration, to keep everything easier to maintain. `$ make install` should work out of the box for Arch.
* Additionally added the `-b` flag to `install(1)` that makes a backup of existing `etc/restic/*` files before installing a newer version.
