Subject: [PATCH v2] kbuild: check for pkg-config on make {menu,n,g,x}config

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

Each of 'make {menu,n,g,x}config' uses (needs) pkg-config to make sure
that other required files are present, but none of these check that
pkg-config itself is present.  Add a check for all 4 of these targets.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #77511:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77511

v2: use 'command -v' instead of 'which'

I'm also OK with just documenting the pkg-config requirement in
Documentation/Changes (= Documentation/process/changes.rst).
