platformplugin install directory fix

Fixes build and install directory for platformplugin

When building the platformplugin library the variable DESTDIR is defined.  When Qt reads the platformplugin.pro file it defines DESTDIR in the Makefile.  This has a couple of side affects.

1) The library libplatformplugin.so doesn't seem to be built when DESTDIR in the platformplugin.pro file is defined.
2) If the user has sufficient privileges (eg. root or sudo) then this would create an install directory in the location of $QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS/webkit with whatever location $QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS is defined as in the systems /.  If the user tries to build to a temporary root (eg. /tmp) then this will ignore whatever INSTALL_ROOT or DESTDIR variable is given during the 'make install' phase.

The patch adds the proper variables so that libplatformplugin.so gets built to the sources local 'release/' directory (or 'debug/' depending on build type) as that is the value of DESTDIR in the Makefile if it is not defined in platformplugin.pro.
