Some distro's build infrastructure (e.g. gentoo) can use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to install to a different location. When the config path is hardcoded to /etc, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has no effect. Ref: https://bugs.gentoo.org/858797

Using CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR does respect CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, but it prefixes it to CMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR, which results in the default config being installed to /usr/etc/polybar/config.ini or /usr/local/etc/polybar/config.ini CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR gives an absolute path that respects the prefix but does the right thing (uses /etc) if it is /usr Ref: polybar#2770
