Ichthyostega c8196ce234 Build: configuring via environment is bad practice
Yes, I know...
Programmers absolutely LOVE to sneak-in various nifty toggles via environment.

Yet this is an anti-pattern!
And, by extension of that verdict, a "build interface" which relies
on the implicit convention that some magical variables are set,
is **not a proper interface** but a hack.

Thus we abandon that bad practice and handle the build in a clean and explicit way.

 * the DEB-Build in `debian/rules` now invokes SCons explicitly, passing arguments
 * the Lumiera Build-System is FSH aware and knows the proper installation locations
 * the setup of the application uses a setup configuration, shipped with the package
 * there is no need to ''compile-in any configuration''
   ** `LUMIERA_PLUGIN_PATH` is obsolete and unused since several years now
   ** `LUMIERA_CONFIG_PATH` was never used at all
   ** consequently, we also do not need `PKGLIBDIR` and `PKGDATADIR`
