pkgconf --cflags pybind11and similar commands to work as expected if pkgconf is installed from pypiDescription
pkgconf is used by build tools such as meson to find pkg-config files. In a virtualenv, the system pkgconf cannot find pybind11 installed in the virtualenv (though meson has other ways to do this).
https://github.com/pypackaging-native/pkgconf-pypi packages pkgconf into a wheel, and uses entrypoints to extend the PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that .pc files can be found in the virtualenv (docs).
pybind11 already distributes a .pc file in the wheel. This PR adds an entrypoint so that it's usable with pkgconf-pypi.
