  Uses wrong pkg-config for dbus test when cross-building [SRU]

Bug description:
  [Problem]
  consolekit fails to cross-build due to trying use wrong-arch 'pkg-config' during configure.

  [Impact]
  The impact is only on those cross-building, but one target for the precise release was to have as much of the base system cross-buildable as possible. consolekit is a base system package so it's important to be able to cross-build it.

  [Development Fix]
  Upstream git has fixed this problem by removing the check in question entirely. See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ConsoleKit/commit/?id=f42cafcce978c402bdbc9c6e03a0c90bb0924b89

  But that version has not yet been released. I don't know if other
  changes are needed first before simply getting rid of it.

  [Stable Fix]
  The minimal fix is simply to use $PKG_CONFIG as set-up by autoconf instead of hard-coded 'pkg-config', then tha correct version is used for both native and cross builds. 

  [Test Case]
  1. apt-get source consolekit
  2. apt-get -a armel build-dep consolekit
  3. cd consolekit-0.4.5
  4. CONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel -uc -us

  Broken Behavior: build will stop after a while saying: 
    Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'dbus-1' found
  Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package.
    This is probably an error in this script, please report it
    along with the following information:
        Base DBUS version =''
        DBUS_VERSION_MAJOR='0'
        DBUS_VERSION_MINOR='0'
        DBUS_VERSION_MICRO='0'
    (and then print out the whole of config.log)

  Fixed Behavior: build will get past this point, saying:
   Your dbus version is 1,4,18.
  It will stop a bit further on with "/bin/bash: /usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool: No such file or directory", unless you have qemu installed, but that's a different bug in a different package.
    
  [Regression Potential]
  The only thing that could go wrong is breaking the native build. I've tested that this works fine. You can confirm it with
  1. apt-get build-dep consolekit
  2. cd consolekit-0.4.5
  3. dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
  that build should complete as normal.

  [Original Report]

  consolekit can't find dbus-1 when cross-building:

  From the build log: http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/precise/sbuild-ma/consolekit_0.4.5-2-precise-ma-cross-armel-20120417-025041.38177.log
  Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'dbus-1' found
  Error: Couldn't determine the version of your DBUS package.

  This turns out to be because a local test in configure.ac used hard-
  coded 'pkg-config' instead of $PKG_CONFIG which autoconf has set to
  the correct path (/usr/bin/<triplet>-pkg-config)

  (This patch is not sufficient to cross-build this package which has
  other issues).
