This can be used by distributions to specify where to look for backends when ggml is built with
GGML_BACKEND_DL=ON.I looked at how a number of other Debian packages solve this, and the pattern always seems to be some form of
/usr/lib/<triplet>/<projectname>/backends/, orplugins/or some variation thereof. With this option, distros can pick whatever fits them best.
