Hi all, loving the game! I just packaged the map editor for Arch Linux when I noticed this:

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky-editor/blob/4f13cbb46b4ad78618d0876838d6cef789837273/endless-sky-editor.pro#L15

The target path really should be /usr/bin/, according to Linux's Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

At least on Debian, it seems like a lot of games put their binaries in /usr/games, including Wesnoth, Ur-Quan Masters, Freeciv, and various emulators and interpreters.

Yeah, I'm just having a look at the Linux Filesystem Heirarchy Standard, not gleaning much from that.

I don't see /usr/games in my $PATH (Arch Linux), hence me opening this issue.
