Patch to optionally disable use of legacy *-config scripts

In the cross-build environment we use in Poky/OpenEmbedded it's possible to get pkg-config into a horrible state with recursive calls between pkg-config and glib-config.

To combat this I created the attached patch which adds a configure time option to disable legacy script support in pkgconfig (--disable-legacy-scripts), to maintain compatibility the default is to leave the scripts enabled.

This was done in 03bd4a55287cd9492c5fde6adb1ac81a37b75cce which drops support completely.
