Support installing to /usr or another location requiring sudo access
My preferred workflow when developing in a KDE Neon VM is to overwrite the system packages and install everything to /usr. I currently use raw CMake and make for this, but I would like to switch to kdesrc-build. However I cannot, because it will fail to install to /usr:
cat ~/kde/src/log/2019-03-17-02/kiconthemes/install.log
# kdesrc-build running: 'make' 'install/fast'
# from directory: /home/dev/kde/build/kiconthemes
Install the project...
