Use pkg-config in Autotools

This commit treats the following:

- Detects if pkg-config or pkgconf is available

- Uses pkg-config to set the correct flags for dependencies. In
  particular, this solves issues when compiling against static
  libraries.

- Cleans up configure.ac

- Sets LDFLAGS, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LIBS correctly and trims their
  corresponding string

- Now pushes -lgc if GC is used. Seems to have gone unnoticed.

- Pushes LIBS into flint.pc
