New description:
Here we actually use the system-wide `pkg-config` if present to query both
Sage's as well as the system's package-config (`*.pc`) files.
If only Sage's `pkgconf` is available, `.pc` files (and hence the packages
they belong to) installed outside of Sage still won't be seen by Sage's
`pkg-config` wrapper script.
It is therefore still recommended to have a system-wide `pkg-config`,
despite Sage now having its own, e.g. to let R use graphics packages Sage
doesn't ship.
