Makefile does not install pkg-config file for libaddress_sorting

[jtattermusch]

See #15166.

@coryan as I understand it, this is a problem when trying to link grpc/grpc++ statically (dynamic linking works as demonstrated by https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/test/distrib/cpp/run_distrib_test_routeguide.sh) - can you provide an example of such build? Ideally I'd like to set up a test so we don't run into this again.

I created a little test that links things statically, you may need to adapt it to your needs. The attached tarball has a simple Makefile, and a Dockerfile to reproduce all the build steps.

There is some good news (maybe), the libgrpc++.a library seems to include the contents of the libaddress_sorting.a library. If that was intentional, then you would not need to add libaddress_sorting to any pkg-config files.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have more questions (I am a Googler btw, so you should be able to find me inside Google too).
