[core] Use automatic build tree detection for all resource directories

[guitargeek]

This follows up on a5b1ed9, using the mechanism to automatically detect if we are in the build tree or install tree also for the other resource directories (so far it was only implemented for the include directory as a first test).

Several fallbacks and hacks can be removed because of this change, like the ROOTIGNOREPREFIX variable that was needed to run ROOT in the build tree for the tests.

This change also makes ROOT completely independent of the ROOTSYS environment variable and therefore unblocks #20006.

If one wants to check that all the resource directories (inlcuding RootSys()) are correct, one can use this check:

void checkdirs() {

    std::cout << "Bin       : " << gROOT->GetBinDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Data      : " << gROOT->GetDataDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Doc       : " << gROOT->GetDocDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Etc       : " << gROOT->GetEtcDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Icon      : " << gROOT->GetIconPath() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Include   : " << gROOT->GetIncludeDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Lib       : " << gROOT->GetLibDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Macro     : " << gROOT->GetMacroDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "RootSys   : " << gROOT->GetRootSys() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "SharedLib : " << gROOT->GetSharedLibDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Source    : " << gROOT->GetSourceDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "TTFFont   : " << gROOT->GetTTFFontDir() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Tutorial  : " << gROOT->GetTutorialDir() << std::endl;
}

This is fixed by that PR:
