CMake: Fix $ORIGIN rpaths to work when passed on the command line
The CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH cache var had the PATH type, which made CMake transform the value into an absolute path, getting rid of the $ORIGIN value. Fix that by changing the cache var type to STRING. Also clean up the all-caps commands, add a usage example and print the install RPATH. Change-Id: Ibf40cfde4283369ddfcf52609143799cc8e47d68 Reviewed-by: Simon Hausmann <simon.hausmann@qt.io>
