Title:
  swtpm-create-user-config-files script contains unevaluated
  @DATAROOTDIR@ variable

Bug description:
  Hi,

  
  *Description*:
  the swtpm setup tool located at `/usr/share/swtpm/swtpm-create-user-config-files` contains the unevaluated String `@DATAROOT@` at line 68. This causes the user's swtpm config to be corrupted and swtpm fails to initialize properly in a libvirt user session.

  According to the author of the swtpm tool this error is probably
  introduced in the build/packaging process (see linked github issue).

  https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/issues/749#issuecomment-1246901959

  Here is the actual content of the file:
  ```
  grep -n DATAROOT /usr/share/swtpm/swtpm-create-user-config-files
  68:create_certs_tool = @DATAROOTDIR@/swtpm/swtpm-localca
  ```

  I would expect the line to be:
  ```
  create_certs_tool = /usr/share/swtpm/swtpm-localca
  ```

  *Version Info*:
  OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  swtpm: 0.6.3-0ubuntu3

  
  Could you please fix the build/packaging process?

  Thanks and Best Regards,
  Josef
