[PATCH] binutils/configure: look for msgpack-c.pc (in addition to msgpack.pc)

Simon Marchi updates the binutils configure script to check for both msgpack.pc and msgpack-c.pc. The msgpack library renamed its pkg-config file, and this change ensures that binutils can find the library regardless of which name is used. This allows binutils to build against either version of the msgpack library.
