Fix problem with make install for AUR package

This PR makes 3 improvements motivated by the effort to create an Arch
Linux AUR package:

  • adjusts get_bundled_link_args in util/chplenv/third_party_utils.py
    to fix a problem with falling back on a -l flag if the .la file
    for the library is missing since the AUR install process removes the
    .la files. This fallback logic originated in #15000 but was
    disrupted by later changes to that function.
  • adjusts chpl --print-chpl-settings to print out all internal
    settings if --devel is also passed (to make it easier to debug
    problems with chplenv scripts)
  • adjusts install.sh to only consider it a staged install if the stage
    directory is not the empty string (since the Makefile calling it
    always passes --stage=${DESTDIR}. As far as I know, this does not
    change the behavior of install.sh, but it fixes something that would
    probably be confusing if relied upon in more ways.
