We are lacking a .pc file for libappimageupdate, needed for #91

First of all, I highly doubt that a pkg-config file is needed for building an RPM file. But if you want to have one, feel free to provide me a suitable one, and I'll integrate it for you in the CMake configs.

Currently we have to do

gcc -shared -o libgs_plugin_appimage.so gs-plugin-appimage.c -fPIC \
`pkg-config --libs --cflags gnome-software` -I/usr/include/appimage \
-lappimage -DI_KNOW_THE_GNOME_SOFTWARE_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE

A .pc file will allow us to do

gcc -shared -o libgs_plugin_appimage.so gs-plugin-appimage.c -fPIC \
`pkg-config --libs --cflags gnome-software appimage`  \
-DI_KNOW_THE_GNOME_SOFTWARE_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE

I need to read up on how to make one.

-I/usr/include/appimage is not required. The correct include path for libappimage is #include <appimage/appimage.h>. I implemented this prefix path because of our other libraries. libappimageupdate can be used like <appimage/update.h>.

Also this issue sounded like the pkg-config file is required to build libappimageupdate in an RPM spec. However, the pkg-config file's purpose is for users of libappimageupdate. My comment needs to be interpreted with this assumption in mind. Please be more explicit about your reasons.

Thanks for the hint. Will use <appimage/appimage.h>.
