This reverts commit 12a0eb124cea85586e57f33c91a1e4c73459eef6.
This "user friendly" behavior is actually detrimental. pkg-config is very
often wrapped in a shell script of cross-compiling toolchains. Such wrappers
may pass extra arguments, such as --static, (reasonably) not expecting that
to break --version. Some build systems (meson being one example) use
--version to determine whether pkg-config is usable. Naturally, the wrappers
fail this test, even though they would've worked with the original pkg-config.
Fixes #6
