CMake: generate a pkg-config file that follow pkg-config conventions #4456
Conversation
This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

And use @ replacement instead of {}, since ${} is significant in
pkg-config's format
This is more standard, and has some advantages when cross compiling. This also means that the pkg-config files generated by Meson and CMake now match.

The pkg-config file generated by Meson matches the convention of using a
prefixvariable, and anincludedirvariable that is relative toprefix(includedir=${prefix}/include). The one generated by CMake does not do this, but hard codes the include directory straight into theCflagsfield. There are advantages to having theprefix(thus the convention)`, especially when cross compiling.This PR makes the CMake generated pkg-config file meat convention, and match the one generated by Meson.
