Fix common paths in *.pc files and make everything relative to $(prefix)
Fix common paths in *.pc files and make everything relative to $(prefix).
Additionally, on static triplets, private entries are merged with their non-private counterparts,
allowing pkg-config to be called without the ``--static`` flag.
Note that vcpkg is designed to never have to call pkg-config with the ``--static`` flag,
since a consumer cannot know if a dependent library has been built statically or not.
## Usage
```cmake
