Add an option to valac for passing args to the pkg-config utility

I added a feature(command line option) for the vala compiler:

 -p, --pkg-config-args=ARGS         Pass ARGS to pkg-config utility

to pass customized arguments to pkg-config utility.

For example, we can use this to static compile a gtk program with valac:

valac test_static.vala -p "--static --libs gtk+-2.0 gee-0.8" --pkg gee-0.8 --pkg gtk+-2.0 -X -static
Comment 1 Michael 'Mickey' Lauer 2018-02-23 12:29:25 UTC 
While I can understand that it might be desirable, I'm slightly against this proposal since it is of limited use. In general, decisions such as whether to link statically against a library, should be made "outside" of Vala, by using a build system.
