[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] readline: install a .pc file

Some packages (such as udftools) fail to build against readline in
static linking configurations. To fix this, we install the .pc file
provided by readline.

Unfortunately, this .pc file is by default not correct, so a patch is
added to fix it, and this patch requires to re-autoconf the package
(but not autoreconf since only autoconf is used).

+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac, readline.pc.in: fix Requires.private value
+
+The provided readline.pc.in hardcodes the fact that readline depends
+on the tinfo library. However, different termcap implementation are
+supported beyond tinfo. This commit improves the configure.ac script
+to define a TERMCAP_PKG_CONFIG_LIB variable, which is then used in
+readline.pc.in.
+
+This for example allows the generated readline.pc to properly contain
+"Requires.private: ncurses" when ncurses is used as the termcap
+implementation.
