Add CI job to test autotools custom prefix install and cmake consumption 
Adds an "Autotools Custom prefix install" matrix entry that:
- Configures with a non-standard --libdir depth (lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)
  to exercise the install path computation in the cmake package files
- Installs directly (no DESTDIR) so cmake can consume the result
- Builds the examples against the installed package via find_package,
  confirming that headers, libraries, and cmake modules are all found
  correctly

Two new conditional steps are added to the autotools job:
- "Set install paths" computes INSTALL_PREFIX and INSTALL_LIBDIR from
  the matrix install_prefix value, keeping the path defined once
- "Consume with CMake" runs the examples build against the install
