Feature or Bug Description

Replaces pkg-config with pkgconf

This is largely a drop-in replacement and released under the permissive ISC license (vs. GPLv2 for pkg-config)

See: http://pkgconf.org/features.html

Blob sourced from: https://distfiles.ariadne.space/pkgconf/pkgconf-2.5.1.tar.xz (published the the pkgconfg project)
Verified via debian: https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pkgconf/pkgconf_2.5.1-4.dsc (using GPG key id E8446B4AC8C77261)
Digest: sha256:cd05c9589b9f86ecf044c10a2269822bc9eb001eced2582cfffd658b0a50c243

Motivation

This is largely motivated by compatibility with upcoming ubuntu-resolute stemcells

See: cloudfoundry/bosh-linux-stemcell-builder#497
