Restored CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to libjpeg-turbo#537

My claim that it was redundant was based on my (admittedly, mostly on macOS) testing; plus my read of these docs, which seem to imply that the built-in default for library installs is Reading deeper into the GNUInstallDirs docs, I'm guessing the problem is that Regardless - I don't have any objection to the |

If you think that the default behaviour of libjpeg-turbo is correct, and Pillow should be updated to handle it, that's fine - I was just saying that this change isn't without consequence, and wanted to make sure there was some motivation behind it. |

My motivation was that it appeared to be redundant - and on macOS, it is. However, you've demonstrated it isn't on at least some Linuxes. I'm currently elbow deep in Pillow's buildsystem; based on what I've seen so far, I'm sure there could be a fix in Pillow's build system - specifically, configuring BUILD_PREFIX to use lib64, rather than defaulting to lib. However the alternate fix is to revert the CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR change as you've suggested - and that approach means there's no backwards incompatibility for any existing users. However, if the fix is a revert, I'm arguing that the fix is also needed to the other CMAKE uses for consistency. |

I think Pillow is a good use case, so maybe we can explore getting Pillow + multibuild working on a branch of both, and then resubmit needed fixes. |
We have not so far received issues about CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR, so I am inclined to merge this as-is, in the vein of "if it is not broken, don't touch". |
That sounds entirely reasonable to me. It's not impacting my usage, I was just flagging a potential inconsistency. If that inconsistency isn't proving a problem for others, I don't see a problem waiting until it does. |
#531 stated that
However, testing the updated multibuild with Pillow, I find that a job starts failing.
If I restore
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIRand test that, the job passes.If the only reason for removing the flag was that it is redundant and makes no difference, then I think I've demonstrated otherwise and would suggest it be restored.
