pkg.m4: Abort by default if no pkgconf 

Provide a second optional argument to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG with an action to
take if no pkgconf is found, and default to aborting.

Too many configure scripts in the wild don't handle an empty PKG_CONFIG,
resulting in weird error messages through the run, which often confuse
users.

Authors wishing to fallback to other methods can either return to the old
behavior by specifying [:] as an action, or use [PKG_CONFIG=false] and call
pkg-config macros normally, handling the fallback as any other failure.

Users can override PKG_CONFIG in the command line so this should imply no
regression.
