Eugene Shalygin f105595f04 Use proper lib directory when installing on UNIX

Linux distributions use lib, lib32, and lib64 directories for library files,
symlinking them where needed. Let's follow distirbution rules by
utilising CMake module GNUInstallDirs.

This is actually several separate C++11/C++14/C++17 libraries:

"date.h" is a header-only library which builds upon <chrono>. It adds some new duration types, and new time_point types. It also adds "field" types such as year_month_day which is a struct {year, month, day}. And it provides convenient means to convert between the "field" types and the time_point types.

"tz.h" / "tz.cpp" are a timezone library built on top of the "date.h" library. This timezone library is a complete parser of the IANA timezone database. It provides for an easy way to access all of the data in this database, using the types from "date.h" and <chrono>. The IANA database also includes data on leap seconds, and this library provides utilities to compute with that information as well.
"iso_week.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements the ISO week date calendar.
- Documentation: http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/iso_week.html
"julian.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements a proleptic Julian calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above.
- Documentation: http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/julian.html
"islamic.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements a proleptic Islamic calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above.
- Documentation: http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/islamic.html

Slightly modified versions of "date.h" and "tz.h" were voted into the C++20 working draft at the Jacksonville FL meeting on 2018-03-17:
