modules/gnome: ensure that `install_dir` is set

The `mkenums` functions can have this unset if, and only if, the
c file only variant is called. Due to side effects if the header file is
generated then `install_dir` is ensured to be set for the c file. I have
removed this side effect so that our tests actually cover this case.

Fixes #9472
