Sdk not linking sdl2_image

[Maskhjarna]

When attempting to build on Arch Linux 5.16.8 I get this:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: IMG_Init

Adding this line to Sdk.zig seems to fix the problem:

// . . .

} else {
    // on linux, we should rely on the system libraries to "just work"
    exe.linkSystemLibrary("sdl2");
    exe.linkSystemLibrary("sdl2_image"); // <--
}

// . . .

Largely unfamiliar with the zig build system, so I might be doing something wrong.

This is only right if you intend to link sdl2_image. Which is not that often the case. So this would require some kind of additional function in the Sdk.zig instead of adding it to a function that only links SDL2

Ah makes sense. I assumed the package would also provide some indirect means of linking sdl2_image.

Feel free to make a PR in the style of the Sdk for SDL_image!
