Provide variant pkg-config file for multi-threaded static lib

Multi-threaded static library require -pthread to correctly link and works.
The pkg-config we provide tho only works with dynamic multi-threaded library
and won't provide the correct libs and cflags values if lib-mt is used.

To handle this, introduce an env variable MT to permit advanced user to
install and generate a correct pkg-config file for lib-mt or detect if
lib-mt target is called.

With MT env set on calling make install-pc, libzstd.pc.in is a
pkg-config file for a multi-threaded static library.

On calling make lib-mt, a libzstd.pc is generated for a multi-threaded
static library as it's what asked by the user by forcing it.

libzstd.pc is changed to PHONY to force regeneration of it on calling
lib targets or install-pc to handle case where the same directory is
used for mixed compilation.

This was notice while migrating from meson to make build system where
meson generates a correct .pc file while make doesn't.

@@ -27,12 +27,16 @@ Enabling multithreading requires 2 conditions :
 
 For convenience, we provide a build target to generate multi and single threaded libraries:
 - Force enable multithreading on both dynamic and static libraries by appending `-mt` to the target, e.g. `make lib-mt`.
+  Note that the `.pc` generated on calling `make lib-mt` will already include the require Libs and Cflags.
 - Force disable multithreading on both dynamic and static libraries by appending `-nomt` to the target, e.g. `make lib-nomt`.
 - By default, as mentioned before, dynamic library is multithreaded, and static library is single-threaded, e.g. `make lib`.
 
 When linking a POSIX program with a multithreaded version of `libzstd`,
 note that it's necessary to invoke the `-pthread` flag during link stage.
 
+The `.pc` generated from `make install` or `make install-pc` always assume a single-threaded static library
+is compiled. To correctly generate a `.pc` for the multi-threaded static library, set `MT=1` as ENV variable.
+
 Multithreading capabilities are exposed
 via the [advanced API defined in `lib/zstd.h`](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/v1.4.3/lib/zstd.h#L351).
