Subject: [PATCH] Generate pkg-config file during install builds

This commit causes CMake to generate a pkg-config file when ENABLE_GLSLANG_INSTALL is enabled. This allows software projects that use pkg-config (and not CMake) to find external dependencies (e.g., Godot 4.x), to find and properly link to a pre-built glslang package.

Closes #1715.
