#1842: Linking against libparrot not as documented

How do you link against libparrot? Easy - use pkg-config like
docs/embed.pod tells you.
Except NONE of those commands work!
A little experimenting with pkg-config or a casual glance at the pkg-
config source would let anyone know that it does not recurse into
subdirectories, so pkgconfig/parrot/2.9.1/parrot.pc is Less Than Useful.
This is a blocker for anyone who is trying to link against libparrot The
Right Way.
For the full details of why this happened, check out a previous attempt to
remedy this (as well as other issues): TT #735.
If we want to be able to support multiple installed versions of parrot
using the current install file policy, pkg-config is not going to cut it.
I suggest we abandon pkg-config as a solution, and move to what rakudo is
doing: pull everything from parrot_config.
