proc getPrefixDir(conf: ConfigRef): AbsoluteDir {...}{.raises: [],
    tags: [ReadIOEffect].}

Gets the prefix dir, usually the parent directory where the binary resides.

This is overridden by some tools (namely nimsuggest) via the conf.prefixDir field.

This should resolve to root of nim sources, whether running nim from a local
clone or using installed nim, so that these exist: result/doc/advopt.txt

and result/lib/system.nim
