Pull request description:
This PR makes `bitcoin_qt.m4` to use `pkg-config` for all hosts and removes non-pkg-config paths from it. This is a step towards the idea which was clear [stated](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8314#issue-76644643) by Cory Fields:
> I believe the consensus is to treat Windows like the others and require pkg-config across the board. We can drop all of the non-pkg-config paths, and simply AC_REQUIRE(PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG)
There are two unsolved problems with this PR. If depends is built with `DEBUG=1` the `configure` script fails to pickup Qt:
- for macOS host (similar to, but not the same as #16391)
- for Windows host (regression)
The fix is ~on its way~ submitted in #18298 (as a followup).
Also this PR picks some small improvements from #17820.

This change adds to the BITCOIN_QT_CONFIGURE script ability to use
pkg-config for MinGW. All of the non-pkg-config paths are removed as
needless.
If depends is built with DEBUG=1 the configure script fails to pickup
Qt:
- for macOS host (similar, but not the same as issue 16391)
- for Windows host (regression)
This does not break any existing prefix behavior, only makes new behavior work.
For example:
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
