Makefile: do not hardcode the `install` program path 

On systems that do not use the FHS, such as NixOS, the `install` program is not
located in `/usr/bin/` as its location is dynamic.

`dtc` can be easily installed on such systems by using the `install` program
available in the `$PATH` with:

    make PREFIX=… INSTALL=install

However, this becomes more difficult when `dtc` is being compiled as part of a
larger toolchain, as the toolchain build scripts will not spontaneously pass
such an argument on the command line. This happens for example when `dtc` is
build as a part of the RTEMS build system.

By not hardcoding a predefined path for `install`, as is done for other
executables, `dtc` will allow the one in the `$PATH` to be used.
