Meson allows dependencies to be compiled and built as part of the parent projects build process using a subproject systems and "wraps". This is useful for situations where dependencies are difficult to install (such as windows and macos), or where a newer version is needed, or static linking is required.

Included are two patches to allow libpkgconf to be used as a subproject dependency. There is an immediate consumer for this in muon, and I will be using this functionality in meson++, especially since support windows and macOS is a goal for meson++.
