[CMake] Install path for package files

[Johannes Zarl]

As is also written in the stackoverflow answer, this information can be found 
in the cmake documentation for find_package[1]:

> <prefix>/                                               (W)
> <prefix>/(cmake|CMake)/                                 (W)
> <prefix>/<name>*/                                       (W)
> <prefix>/<name>*/(cmake|CMake)/                         (W)
> <prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/cmake/<name>*/          (U)
> <prefix>/(lib/<arch>|lib|share)/<name>*/                (U)

Just use any directory based on your target platform and you're fine.
