[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-gtk] Makefile: Ensure the acl helper is installed before running install-exec-hook

On my system when running make install, after installing the libraries it
first executes install-binPROGRAMS:

  /bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c spicy snappy spicy-st
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/spicy /usr/bin/spicy
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/snappy /usr/bin/snappy
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/spicy-stats /usr/bin/spicy-stats

Then the install-exec-hook:

make  install-exec-hook
make[6]: Entering directory `/home/hans/projects/spice/spice-gtk/gtk'
chown root /usr/bin//spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper
chmod u+s  /usr/bin//spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper

And only then does it install the actual helper by executing
install-aclPROGRAMS:

  /bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c spice-client-glib-usb
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper /usr/bin

Which means that the install-exec-hook runs too early, either there is no
spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper for it to make suid root, or if there is it
will later get overwritten and its rights will get reset.

This patch fixes this by making install-binPROGRAMS depend on
install-aclPROGRAMS, thus ensuring the acl helper is installed before running
the install-exec-hook.
