   * Return the directory where a module should be installed.
   *
   * If the module is already installed, backdrop_get_path() will return
   * a valid path and we should install it there (although we need to use an
   * absolute path, so we prepend BACKDROP_ROOT). If we're installing a new
   * module, we always want it to go into /modules, since that's
   * where all the documentation recommends users install their modules, and
   * there's no way that can conflict on a multi-site installation, since
   * the Update manager won't let you install a new module if it's already
   * found on your system, and if there was a copy in top-level, we'd see it.
