    gnu: pkgconf: Add support for cross-compilation.
    
    * gnu/packages/pkg-config.scm: Reorganize module into sections.
    (cross-pkg-config): Refactor to accept a TARGET argument.
    (pkg-config-for-target): Likewise.
    (pkg-config): Apply pkg-config-for-target to the %pkg-config argument.
    (pkgconf): New variable, computed via pkg-config-for-target.
    (pkgconf-as-pkg-config): Likewise.
    (make-pkg-config-for-build): New procedure.
    (pkg-config-for-build): Express in terms of the above.
    (pkgconf-as-pkg-config-for-build): New variable.
    (%pkgconf): New variable, renamed from previous pkgconf.
    (%pkgconf-as-pkg-config): New variable, renamed from pkgconf-as-pkg-config.
