📄 Description

Fixes: https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/issues/132

This PR adds pkg-config files to Makefile and CMake builds. I know that #132 was closed because the simplicity of linking libxlsxwriter doesn't require pkg-config. However, the reason I'm doing this is that I'm writing a Swift binding to libxlsxwriter and SwiftPM has native support for pkg-config which would make it simpler to build in macOS and Linux. Even though there are other workarounds to this problem, I find using pkg-config the most convenient solution.
