pkg-config file for bzip2
Based on a recent discussion... bzip2 doesn't come with a .pc file. The next bzip2 release would almost certainly have one, but it's unlikely there will ever be a new release. Not soon, at any rate. In the meantime, meson assumes pkg-config will find libbz2 and tries to use cmake otherwise, which dies since we poison cmake. This fixes my test case, misc/qman. But I think it might be a bad idea. FreeBSD and Debian don't provide a .pc file. (I have no idea how they satisfy meson.) Still, to close this out in my own head, here's a diff.
