Missing library checks

Rémi Denis-Courmont requested to merge Courmisch/vlc:checklib into master

Traditionally the presence of the header file was not considered sufficient, though this was somewhat forgotten with the prevalence of pkg-config.

However most libraries have portable headers, while the shared library is platform-dependent. It is common for the header to be present while the library is absent with "multilib" installations (i.e. Linux installation with multiple architectures).
