Add option to control whether to use `pkg-config` to detect dependencies. Curl's CMake uses `pkg-config` by default for all targets except for MSVC without vcpkg. With the CMake option `-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=ON` you can override it to use `pkg-config` always. If `pkg-config` is causing issues, e.g. in cross-builds or other cases, `-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=OFF` disables all use of `pkg-config`. Follow-up to 9dfdc6f curl#14483 Closes #xxxxx
