Since we switched to pkgconf, it is possible that a build tool may use it before pkg-config so make sure both shims are available.


Not specifically likely, but just in case. Also handles running pkgconf directly in formula.

May want to update pkg-config shim later on (e.g. so actual executable is found on shim-excluded superenv's PATH rather than hardcoded).

Or perhaps seeing if pkgconf is willing to support the environment variables overrides as those are less intrusive in build than shim.

Since we switched to `pkgconf`, it is possible that a build tool may use
it before `pkg-config` so make sure both shims are available.

Thanks @cho-m! Fine to merge as-is but feels like we should probably make pkg-config point to pkgconf eventually.

I can do this in a follow up as I plan to rewrite the pkg-config shim as I want it to behave more like our other shims.
