[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/netsniff-ng: fix static build of mausezahn

The configure script fails to detect libpcap in static build because it
does not take into account the libnl dependency on link. As a result the
configure script silently disables mausezahn build even when
BR2_PACKAGE_NETSNIFF_NG_MAUSEZAHN is enabled. Add upstream patch to use
pkg-config for libpcap link flags.

+Subject: [PATCH] Detect libpcap dependencies using pkg-config
+
+When building statically the link command line must include all
+dependencies of all libraries. libpcap can optionally depend on libnl.
+mausezahn can't build statically in this case.
+
+Use pkg-config in configure and in the link command to construct the
+library flags we need to link with libpcap.
