README.md local install instruction correction #605

Expected behaviour

The README.md file included with Pluma says the following in the Build/Installation section, under Simple install procedure:

For installation to a separate prefix change the above make install command to


$ make install --prefix /an/other/path
make: unrecognized option '--prefix'
=====

I think this is a holdover from gEdit, which says the same thing.

#### Actual behaviour

The actual command needed to install to a specified directory is:

$ make install destdir /an/other/path

#### Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Follow the directions in README.md.

#### MATE general version

1.24.1

#### Package version

Built from source, master branch

#### Linux Distribution

Ubuntu Mate 20.10.
