Somebody on meson's IRC channel mentioned that they were having difficulty finding the "official" compiler/linker search paths on FreeBSD.

pkgconf is built with this information compiled into it (and wrappers could override it), so it may be a reasonable way to discover this information.

As such, I propose adding it as variables to the pkg-config object, as ${pc_system_libdirs} and ${pc_system_includedirs}.
