[PATCH V2] configure.ac: Fallback to older detection code if pkg-config can't find expat

This paritally reverts commit a4afd90f9f0c27ed5f3f313b915c260673f8be34.

On older expat versions (ie the one on Ubuntu 12.04) there is no pkg-config
file, so fall back to the previous test for the header file when it fails.
Test is slightly cleaned up from previous one.

I could not use AC_SEARCH_LIBS as was suggested, as this leaves the switch
in LIBS, not EXPAT_LIBS, and thus does not match the pkg-config results.
