Here's a prototype for that.

It adds an install-test-files target, Because we want to install into a normal
directory, I removed the necessary munging of the target paths from
meson.build and moved it into install-test-files. I also added DESTDIR
support, so that installing can redirect the directory if desired. That's used
for the tmp_install/ installation now.

I didn't like the number of arguments necessary for install_test_files, so I
changed it to use

--install target list of files

which makes it easier to use for further directories, if/when we need them.
