This series changes linking behavior in 19.11.x and thereby should stay
out. It breaks - for example - a rebuild of OVS 2.13 or builds
of later OVS 2.13.x stable releases.

File moved on: deebf952 "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation"
Later changes to buildtools/pkg-config/meson.build that we need to re-create.
3f33f5056 build: fix plugin load on static build
4a2baf099 build: fix linker flags on Windows
Those have to take place in meson.build after this is all reverted and gone.

I have sent the proposal to remove that to <email address hidden> as I want to get the buy in there to not re-re-re-re-revert later :-)
