[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/pkgconf: add patch to restore pre-1.5.3 behavior for sysroot prefixing

Prior to the bump to version 1.5.3 in commit
4e423669399ad8389edd81761ea5c9cc26bf312d, we had a patch on pkgconf
that ensures only some variables containing paths were prefixed by the
sysroot directory when queried through pkg-config. This patch was
dropped as part of the 1.5.3 bump, but it turns out we really need
something like this, or a significant number of changes need to be
done to existing packages.

Indeed, pkg-config has no notion of which variable/path gets used at
build time vs. which variable/path gets used at runtime. Prefixing
with the sysroot the paths used at build time works and is desirable,
but prefixing the paths used at runtime doesn't work.

This commit should fix a large number of remaining build failures
related to pkgconf 1.5.3, and should allow reverting a significant
number of workarounds.

+Subject: [PATCH] Only prefix with the sysroot a subset of variables
+
+The standard logic of pkg-config is to prefix all absolute paths by
+the sysroot defined in PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR. However, while some
+paths (like includedir, libdir, and paths used in -L and -I options
+are in this case), it is not necessarily the case for paths that are
+used on the target.
+
+Unfortunately, pkg-config doesn't have a sense of which path needs to
+be prefixed by the sysroot, and which path should not be prefixed by
+the sysroot.
+
+So, let's simply have a whitelist of paths that should be prefixed:
+includedir, libdir, mapdir, pkgdatadir and sdkdir. This list of
+variables was collected over years of Buildroot development. All other
+paths are not prefixed by the sysroot.
