Uninstalled pkg-config files

The pkgconfig module now generates uninstalled pc files as well. For any generated foo.pc file, an extra foo-uninstalled.pc file is placed into <builddir>/meson-uninstalled. They can be used to build applications against libraries built by meson without installing them, by pointing PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that directory. This is an experimental feature provided on a best-effort basis, it might not work in all use-cases.
