David A. Wheeler f33e34f333 Add FAQ entry on how Cygwin counters install and update MITM attacks
* faq-setup.xml: Document how Cygwin secures installation and
	update against man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.  Note that
	setup embeds a public key to check the signature of setup.ini,
	and that setup.ini includes SHA-512 cryptographic hashes.

Jon TURNEY b7f2a6c0a7 Fix winsup/doc to install into prefix
By default, docdir and htmldir are defined in terms of prefix, so make sure to
define it, so their values are prefix-relative.

Without this, 'make install' installs the documentation into /share/doc/ unless
configured otherwise.

	* Makefile.in (prefix): Define.
