Subject: Make install work on Windows as well as Linux.

Windows copies rg.exe to %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin and skips the
man page. Linux still installs to /usr/local/bin and share/man.
PREFIX overrides the destination on both.

 The Windows bits of config.mk are selected when OS=Windows_NT.
-Otherwise set CC, EXE=.exe, and CPPFLAGS by hand as commented there.
