[Buildroot] [RFC] Move host-pkgconf dependency to package/pkg-autotools.mk

Hi,

is there a reason an autotools-package should not depend on host-pkgconf?

The phrase "host-pkgconf" appears in > 300 packages

$ for i in `find -iname *.mk | grep -v pkgconf`; do grep host-pkgconf $i; 
done | wc -l
313

If 

$(2)_DEPENDENCIES += host-pkgconf

is added to package/pkg-autotools.mk we could get rid of all those 
dependencies in the packages and avoid nasty build errors in the future.

Regards, Bernd
