PGXS defines it as:

#   HEADERS_$(MODULE) -- files to install into
#     $(includedir_server)/$MODULEDIR/$MODULE; the value of $MODULE must be
#     listed in MODULES or MODULE_big

where

#   MODULEDIR -- subdirectory of $PREFIX/share into which DATA and DOCS files
#     should be installed (if not set, default is "extension" if EXTENSION
#     is set, or "contrib" if not)

And I mirrored that in meson.

Data seems to be wrong for headers, as that's

#   DATA -- random files to install into $PREFIX/share/$MODULEDIR

> sepgsql uses dir_data / 'contrib'

Also, sepgsql installs an sql file, not an include.
