man: Document PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG conditional issue there

Browse source 
The issue of PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG being run first from a conditional
affects more than PKG_CHECK_MODULES and PKG_CHECK_EXISTS since
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is AC_REQUIRE'd from many other macros. Describe the
issue completely in the PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG section.

Defines the PKG_CONFIG variable to the best pkg-config available,
useful if you need pkg-config but don't want to use PKG_CHECK_MODULES.

If the first call to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is conditional, then it will
not work correctly in all cases. Since many of the other macros such as
PKG_CHECK_MODULES require PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG to know which pkg-config
program to run, PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG may be run for the first time from a
conditional from one of these macros. Therefore, if any of the
pkg-config macros will be used under a conditional, it's best to run
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG before any of the other macros are used.
