Issue body
Currenty the CMake plugin uses an empty CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and installs into the install directory via utilizing DESTDIR. This PR resolves LP: [#1544630](https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1544630) by adding the ability to install via actually using CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Also ups the CMake plugin coverage to 100%.
