build: improve pkg-config doc and error handling
Error-handling improvement suggested by Mike Frysinger in: http://bugs.gnu.org/16757#29 * NEWS: Document pkg-config changes. * README-prereq: pkg-config is now a prereq when building from repository. * m4/pcre.m4 (gl_FUNC_PCRE): Report an error if pcre is explicitly requested but not available. Defer to user-supplied PCRE_CFLAGS and PCRE_LIBS.
