This bring us in line with Autotools and CMake and it is useful
for platforms like Nix, which install projects
into multiple independent prefixes.
As a consequence, `get_option` might return absolute paths for some
directory options, if a directory outside of prefix is passed.
This is technically a backwards incompatible change but its effect
should be minimal, thanks to widespread use of `join_paths`/`/` operator
and pkg-config generator module. It should only cause an issue when
a path were constructed by concatenating the value of directory path option.
Also remove a comment about commonpath since we do not use that since
<https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/commit/00f5dadd5b7d71c30bd7393d165a87f554eb92e5>.
