Introduce dataonly for the pkgconfig module
This allows users to disable writing out the inbuilt variables to the pkg-config file as they might actualy not be required. One reason to have this is for architecture-independent pkg-config files in projects which also have architecture-dependent outputs. For example : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/269 Fixes #4011
