Description

When building on Windows, even in MSYS2, it appears some paths are hardcoded for the MSI installer, such as the configuration directory and log directory which are always C:\Program Files\Suricata. While this is useful for the package, it is not that useful for developing and testing in the MSYS2 environment where a more traditional layout makes more sense.

My recommendations is that when building on MSYS2 we should a more unix style layout, and allow the parameters to be overriden with ./configure options. This matches make install where the binaries are install in /bin or /usr/local/bin.
