gh-116622: Rename build variable MODULE_LDFLAGS back to LIBPYTHON (GH-122764)
(LIBPYTHON was renamed MODULE_LDFLAGS in commit 7f5e3f04f.)
(cherry picked from commit 2f5c3b09e4)
Co-authored-by: Malcolm Smith <smith@chaquo.com>
In commit 254b309c80 a previous change to avoid linking to libpython was partially reverted for Android (and later Cygwin as well), to add back the link flags. This was applied to distutils and to python-config.sh, but not to python.pc.
Add it back to python.pc as well.

To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
