ngtcp2 1.14.0 added module dependencies to `ngtcp2_crypto_*.pc` files.
This broke certain build cases in curl, because configure was is
querying pkg-config modules by setting `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` to the
directory specified via `--with-*=` options, including `--with-ngtcp2=`.
Setting `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` tells pkg-config (and pkgconf) to ignore
system locations. This caused that `ngtcp2_crypto_gnutls.pc` could no
longer find its indirect dependencies, if those were present at system
locations (where they typically are). Another fallout was BoringSSL,
because it does not provide `openssl.pc` on its own, and successful
detection relied on finding a non-BoringSSL copy, typically at a system
location (also fixed in ngtcp2 main branch).
Fix `ngtcp2_crypto_*` detections to not touch `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` and
instead prepend `<path>` set via `--with-ngtcp2=` to `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`.
This ensures to pick up any dependent modules from system locations.
Note the side-effect is that potentially undesired modules may be
detected this way from system locations, i.e. it makes this particular
detection less "hermetic" than the rest used in curl configure.
(Configurations using a bare `--with-ngtcp2` with no path were not
affected, and served as a workaround before this patch. It remains a
valid way of configuration after.)
Both `pkgconf` and `pkg-config` use this logic to calculate their search
directory list:
```pseudo
search = {}
if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set
search += PKG_CONFIG_PATH
endif
if PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is set (even if empty)
search += PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
else
search += built-in-pkg-config-dirs
endif
```
