poppler-data: add a pkg-config file.

Oh! Well indeed when I install this in my dev build, it works. I guess our
official release does not have it either, then.

Could I propose an improvement to poppler-data package? I submit a pkg-config
file. This would allow third-party to decide whether they want to have a strong
dependency to poppler-data (or at least a warning maybe for the packager if
poppler-data is missing).
I know pkg-config is rather known to be used for libraries, but it is also
actually very commonly used for data packages as well (check your
/usr/share/pkgconfig/, you will likely see a lot of .pc files for data packages
there).
If you were to add this pkg-config, we would likely add at least a check of
poppler-data with a warning on GIMP configure script.

As a side feature, it will allow the poppler package to detect the right path
for the datadir. Right now, poppler determines the data root either if the
packager explicitely gives the --datarootdir option, or by assuming by default
it will be on the same prefix as poppler itself. Using pkg-config simplifies
and gives flexibility.
