Bug#956583: xxhash: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
xxhash could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the shipped pkg-config file embeds the path the
package was built in. Patch attached that changes this prefix value to
"/usr" which I *think* is right, but it's at least no worse than the
current shipped value which will never resolve on a user's machine.
