Subject: validatePkgConfig: init

This adds the `validatePkgConfig` hook, which can be used to validate
pkg-config files in the output(s). Currently, this will just run
`pkg-config --validate` on all `.pc` files, capturing errors such as
the issue that was fixed in #87789.

The hook could be extended in the future with more fine-grained
checks.
