#8258: configure script ignores pkgconfigdir

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Using --pkgconfigdir when running ./configure appears to have no effect on
the actual PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
To reproduce, install a library, like libopus, which places an opus.pc
file in a default location like /usr/lib/pkgconfig/. Then move opus.pc to
a nonstandard directory such as /home/vortico/local/lib/pkgconfig/,
forcing us to use pkgconfigdir. Run the following in ffmpeg's directory.
./configure --pkgconfigdir=/home/vortico/local/lib/pkgconfig/ --enable-
libopus
The script fails with
ERROR: opus not found using pkg-config
However, running
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/vortico/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --enable-
libopus
is successful. In the test_pkg_config() function in configure, the line
test_cmd $pkg_config --exists --print-errors $pkg_version || return
or other invocations of pkg_config, appears to not make use of the
pkgconfigdir at all.
