I did not test this patch, but does this check work as expected?

Probably we want to run 'docheckpkgconfig'
before 'dochecklxdiag', '.tmp_gtkcheck', '.tmp_qtcheck', etc.
But, I do not see such dependencies.


Also, if we make 'pkg-config' mandatory,
should we entirely drop fall-back logics like follows?

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc5/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh#L29
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.16-rc5/scripts/kconfig/Makefile#L230


What do you think?
