This recipe is a dummy provider of pkgconfig, but we want our SDKs to
ship a pkgconfig binary if requested as otherwise that's a host tool
that would be required to use the SDK. On Linux that's easily solved,
but meta-mingw/meta-darwin SDKs can't really assume that pkgconfig will
be present on the host.

This behaviour dates back to 2014 when construction of SDKs with RPM
packages was added[1] and notably the same behaviour didn't exist for
ipkg-based SDKs.
