configure: use pkg-config to find libuuid

In some conditions, libuuid may be linked with -lintl. This can be the
case on uClibc when locales are enabled.

When doing a shared link, this dependency is automatically pulled in via
a DT_NEEDED ELF tag

For a static link, there is no such mechanism to pull in dependent
libraries.

Currently, the check for libuuid is done with AC_CHECK_LIB, but this
does not handle dependencies, and thus a stattic build fails.

Use pkg-config to find libuuid, that automatically pulls in the
dependencies of libuuid, if any.

Note: of course, that relies on the fact that libuuid installs a proper
.pc file; a patch will be submitted upstream shortly.

But even considering the current situation, where libuuid does not
provide a proper .pc file (yet), this patch does not change the
behaviour we've had so far; it is a bet on the future! ;-)
