Subject: [PATCH] Allow Windows prefix redefinition in any pkgconfig directory

The prefix redefinition feature on Windows to make packages relocatable
was being confined only to locations where the .pc file was in a
directory ending in lib/pkgconfig or share/pkgconfig. This is too
restrictive as it's quite common for the libdir to have a different name
such as lib64. This keeps the convention that the feature will only be
enabled when the .pc file is in a pkgconfig directory, and it continues
to define the prefix to the grandparent of the pkgconfig directory.

The path handling is switched over to standard glib functions
g_path_get_basename and g_path_get_dirname to avoid handrolled handling
of Windows paths.
