scripts: Remove the support for "install" targets from all makefiles

In most of the legacy makefiles (with only a few notable exceptions
such as makefile.linux), the "install" targets have been broken since
libpng-1.5.0beta01. Specifically, the "install-shared" targets produced
incorrect library names, due to a missing symbol in the definition of
the LIBSOREL macro.

Rather than correcting this long-standing and long-untested error, we
decided to remove the support for "make install" altogether, from all
legacy makefiles. Further use of "make install", "make install-static"
or "make install-shared" will fail with an error message.

Going forward, the only tested and supported manners to install libpng
shall be the conventional build and install procedures driven by the
configure script or by the CMake file.
