00251: Change user install location

Set values of prefix and exec_prefix in distutils install command
to /usr/local if executable is /usr/bin/python* and RPM build
is not detected to make pip and distutils install into separate location.

Fedora Change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Making_sudo_pip_safe
Downstream only: Reworked in Fedora 36+/Python 3.10+ to follow https://bugs.python.org/issue43976

pypa/distutils integration: pypa/distutils#70

Also set sysconfig._PIP_USE_SYSCONFIG = False, to force pip-upgraded-pip
to respect this patched distutils install command.
