treewide: internally avoid deprecated machine file uses of "pkgconfig"
We support this in a machine file: ``` [binaries] pkgconfig = 'pkg-config' pkg-config = 'pkg-config' ``` and you can use either one, because internally we look up both. If you only set *one* of them, this plays awkwardly with setting $PKG_CONFIG, since we don't know which one you set in the machine file and the *other* one will be initialized from the environment instead. In commit 22df45a31981874310a78dde0df59a6a7c5ebb29 we changed program lookup of config-tool style dependencies to use the regular tool names and only fall back on the strange internal names. This affected the pkg-config class too. The result is that instead of preferring `pkgconfig =` followed by $PKG_CONFIG followed by `pkg-config =`, we inverted the lookup order. This is a good idea anyway, because now it behaves consistently with `find_program('pkg-config')`. Unfortunately, we documented the wrong name in a bunch of places, and also used the wrong name in various testsuite bits, which meant that if you set $PKG_CONFIG and then ran the testsuite, it would fail. Correct these references, because they are buggy. One test case expected to find_program() a native copy for convenience of testing against natively installed glib. Force it to resolve a native copy.
