Set sysconfdir to /etc only if prefix is /usr

PR #2855 basically hardcodes the config file path to /etc, which is a
problem on e.g. FreeBSD, where the expected path for config files of
non-base software is '/usr/local/etc'.
Meson sets sysconfdir to '/etc' explicitly only when prefix is '/usr',
so it is still possible to use '/usr/local' as prefix, and install the
config files under '/usr/local/etc'. This commit allows to do that by
setting sysconfdir based on the value of prefix.
