Outputting other Libs flags such as -Wl,foo just prior to the -l Libs
flags gives a better chance the --libs output will be correct. This
should be no change in the usage of the output since pkg-config
currently groups all flag types together.
Often the expected results for the indirect dependency tests fell behind
because it's not a typical test scenario. However, since the results are
always the same as --static, they can just use the same results and the
test can be run conditionally without --static based on configuration.
Use a bitmask to keep track of what Libs/Cflags to output. This makes it
simple to handle any combination of --cflags and --libs option variants.
A lot of excess code is removed in the process as all the flags options
can now be carried around in a single variable.
Freedesktop #54388 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54388)
Make sure that the --*-only-* variants of --cflags and --libs do the
right thing. This should probably be extended to cover a chain of
packages to get the ordering right, but this is good for now.
The run_test shell function was running pkg-config with arguments stored
in an environment variable. This has problems when trying to pass shell
special characters with the proper escaping. Instead, pass the arguments
to the test where they can maintain correct formatting through use of
the special variable "$@".
Although the trick of finding a POSIX shell in the system PATH works
fine most of the time, it has some drawbacks.
* The commands must be copied into every test script.
* The scripts are always forced to re-execute themselves.
* There's no guarantee the sh found in `getconf PATH` is a POSIX shell
and there's no way to override it.
Move the handling of this shell to configure where we can detect it
once. This gives preference to bash and ksh since they're typically
POSIX compatible. It also uses the current PATH with the getconf PATH at
the end which should allow things to work on platforms where getconf
might not be available like mingw/msys.
By specifying the shell in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, automake will run each
script with this shell and we can drop the re-exec dance.

check/check-includedir, check/check-libs,
check/check-libs-private, check/check-requires-private: Replace
the crazy -d ~root check with a more proper way to just make sure
we are running under a POSIX shell. Thanks to Kjetil Torgrim
Homme for the tip about using getconf PATH.
