    configure: MinGW respect --bindir argument · 15588a62

    There are two cases that need to be accounted for when compiling QEMU
    for MinGW32:
     1) A standalone distribution, where QEMU is self contained and
        extracted by the user, such as a user would download from the QEMU
        website. In this case, all the QEMU executable files should be
        rooted in $prefix to ensure they can be easily found by the user
     2) QEMU integrated into a distribution image/sysroot/SDK and
        distributed with other programs. In this case, the provided
        arguments for bindir/datadir/etc. should be respected as they for a
        Linux build.
    
    Restructures the MinGW path configuration so that all of the paths
    except bindir use the same rules as when building for other platforms.
    This satisfies #2 and #1 since these files do not need to be directly in
    $prefix anyway.
    
    The handling for --bindir is changed so that it defaults to $prefix on
    MinGW (maintaining the compatibility with #1), but if the user specifies
    a specific path when configuring it can also satisfy #2.
