Change the default installation directory for modules to /boot/modules.

Kernel installs always override KMODDIR when installing modules, so
this default setting is only used for standalone module builds.  Many
out-of-tree modules manually override KMODDIR already to avoid placing
modules in /boot/kernel.  This now makes that behavior the default.
