pkgconf-2.9.90

Check if this is a development version. The current version is 2.5.1.

It's a development release for upcoming 3.0.

3.0 will deprecate the autotools support so we'd have to switch to meson. It's a little difficult. What seems working for me:

1. Move ninja before pkgconf. No changes are needed for instructions.
2. Build pkgconf with an "uninstalled" meson:

   tar -xf ../meson-1.11.1.tar.gz
   # ch. 07 Python is not built with zlib so the import will fail,
   # but thanks to the dynamic nature of Python we can simply remove it
   # as long as it's not really used at runtime
   sed '/import gzip/d' -i meson-1.11.1/mesonbuild/wrap/wrap.py
   
   mkdir build
   cd build
   python3 ../meson-1.11.1/meson.py setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release
   ninja
   ninja install
   mv /usr/share/doc/pkgconf{,-2.5.1}

An alternative would be adding zlib into ch. 07 (before Python) instead of hacking meson with the sed.

It would have an additional benefit that we'd be able to extract the sqlite doc zip archive using python3 -m zipfile -e, so we'd no longer need to reformat the archive and upload it to anduin.
