m4: Add PKG_PREREQ version checking macro
While PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG checks the version of pkg-config available at build time, it doesn't check the version of the pkg-config macros being used. PKG_PREREQ (like AC_PREREQ or LT_PREREQ) can be used to check the version of the macros in use when configure is being generated by the developer. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89267
