lnr is a script in oe-core that creates relative symlinks, with the same
behaviour as `ln --relative --symlink`. It was added back in 2014[1] as
not all of the supported host distributions at the time shipped
coreutils 8.16, the first release with --relative.
However the oldest coreutils release in the supported distributions is
now 8.22 in CentOS 7, so lnr can be deprecated and users switched to ln.

This is the result of automated script conversion:
scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py <oe-core directory>
converting the metadata to use ":" as the override character instead of "_".

There is no other version of pkgconfig to have a preference against,
remove the unneeded variable.

There's no need to do alternatives as pkgconf and pkg-config won't be installed
at the same time, and pkg-config doesn't do alternatives either.

To maintain the status quo, revert changes to pkgconf wrappers.
This helps to keep it compatible with freedesktop.org pkg-config.

pkgconf improved compatibility with freedesktop.org pkg-config.
So, we don't need to unset PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR in wrappers.

pkgconf is a better replacement for pkg-config. Fedora 26 replaces the
system pkg-config implementation with pkgconf because it "provides better
support for handling .pc files and a stable library ABI/API for integrating
into applications." and is actively maintained, unlike pkg-config.
pkgconf aims to offer many improvements over pkg-config such as faster/more
efficient dependency resolver which "allows for the user to more conservatively
link their binaries -- which may be helpful in some environments, such as when
prelink(1) is being used.
pkgconf also aims to provide a more complete implementation of pkg-config.
The features most likely to benefit the Yocto Project build system are the
faster/more efficient dependency resolution and linker flag optimisation.
