Don't let pkg-config add system lib dirs to the search path
In its default configuration, pkg-config adds system-wide library directories to the linker search path (rust-lang/pkg-config-rs#11). This causes these directories to be searched before other paths added by later crates or by `-Clink-arg` in rustflags. If a library is present in the system-wide directory and a later build step wants to specifically link against a different version of that library in another path, the linker will choose the library from the first search directory it finds. If the linker doesn't find a library in any of the specified search directories, it falls back on system-wide paths, so we don't need to print the path we found lubcurl in if it is in one of those system paths. See rust-lang/libz-sys#50 for the same fix to libz that landed a while back.
