selftests: fix headers_install circular dependency

"make kselftest" fails with "Circular Makefile.o <- prepare dependency
dropped." error, when lib.mk invokes "make headers_install".

Make level 0: Main make calls selftests run_tests target
...
Make level n: selftests lib.mk invokes main make's headers_install

The secondary level make inherits builtin-rules which will use the rule
to generate Makefile.o  and runs into "Circular Makefile.o <- prepare
dependency dropped." error, and kselftest compile fails.

Invoke headers_install target with --no-builtin-rules to avoid circular
error.

In addition, lib.mk installs headers in the default HDR_PATH, even when
build relocation is requested with O= or export KBUILD_OUTPUT. Fix the
problem by passing in INSTALL_HDR_PATH. The headers are installed under
the specified output "dir/usr".
