CMake: Allow installing examples outside of the Qt prefix

Introduce a new QT_INTERNAL_CUSTOM_INSTALL_DIR variable to
allow specifying an 'examples install dir' outside of the Qt prefix.

It will be used in a follow-up change to ensure we don't package
the example binaries in our CI artifacts (thus saving space).

This will be even more important when the examples will contain code
to deploy Qt libraries alongside each deployed example (which would
significantly increase the package size).
