Install MQ startup scripts and fix installation of MQ executables (#2403)

Create MQ startup scripts to be installed already at the configuration stage and store the in the build tree. The difference between the scripts used in the build tree and the scripts finally installed are the hardcoded directory information inside. In the scripts to be used inside the build directory this links to the source and the build directories whereas it links to the installation directory in case of the scripts which are installed. Copy the scripts during installation to the correct directory. Install the MQ executables in the same directory structure as in the build directory.

Correct RPATH information in the executables

When building the executables the needed PATH information to find necessary libraries is stored in the executable. This PATH information is now also present in the installed executables such that they work without adding PATH information to the environment.

@f.uhlig I am not sure what I should test here. The compilation succeeds without crashing, that much I can say. I tried running ./startMQ_Mcbm.sh and ./startMQSamplerUnpackerParserverHitBuilder.sh. They both execute, but don't open any xterm windows, but also don't produce any error messages. I might not be the right person to review this, as I don't know what most of the MQ devices do.

By the way, the following two scripts use paths relative VMCWORKDIR for execution:

cbmroot/MQ/mcbm/startBuildRawEvents2021.sh.in

cbmroot/MQ/mcbm/startMQBuildRawEvents.sh.in

These are the ones I was referring to in the meeting.

@d.smith,

thanks for the link to the scripts. I haven't seen them because the use $VMCWORKDIR instead of @VMCWORKDIR@. There even some more scripts which are incorrect. I will try to fix all of them.

=> Merging

Did you start the scripts from the installation directory?

... of course I forgot and did it from the build folder as usual...
