pick up the FLUX_PREFIX from env variable #7

Instead of finding out where Flux is installed (i.e., FLUX_PREFIX) based on $(prefix)/lib/pkgconfig, use the env variable directly, and load pkgconf from $(FLUX_PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig. This will require modifying config/ax_flux_core.m4 where PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set in AX_FLUX_CORE macro definition. This allows using flux installed somewhere different from install destination.

The more traditional way of doing this is to just have the user prepend $FLUX_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. The AX_FLUX_CORE macro just uses pkg-config, so adding to PKG_CONFIG_PATH will cause flux-core to be found even if it's not in the same prefix as DYAD.

That is a good solution.
