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
