pgsql: Use system install program when available and usable

Use system install program when available and usable

In a3176dac22c4cd14971e35119e245abee7649cb9 we switched to using
install-sh unconditionally, because the configure check
AC_PROG_INSTALL would pick up any random program named install, which
has caused failure reports
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-03/msg00312.php).
Now the configure check is much improved and should avoid false
positives.  It has also been shown that using a system install program
can significantly reduce "make install" times, so it's worth trying.

Buildfarm member warthog seems not to like this patch:

/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -d
'/home/ohp/buildfarm/pgfarmbuild_warthog/HEAD/pgsql.3078/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install/home/ohp/buildfarm/pgfarmbuild_warthog/HEAD/inst/lib'
../ -m 644  libpgport.a
'/home/ohp/buildfarm/pgfarmbuild_warthog/HEAD/pgsql.3078/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install/home/ohp/buildfarm/pgfarmbuild_warthog/HEAD/inst/lib/libpgport.a'
gmake[3]: execvp: ../: Permission denied
gmake[3]: *** [install] Error 127
