Update the AC_VMW_CHECK_LIB fields for xmlsec1 library.

Currently, the library's custom "config" (xmlsec1-config)
is being used to determine compiler and linker flags.
Customer reported cross compiler problem with the xmlsec1-config
usage and suggested the below changes to use pkg-config instead.

o Pass library name as 3rd parameter to AC_VMW_CHECK_LIB Macro
  to determine the compiler and linker flags via pkg-config.
o Also use the predefined 'PKG_CONFIG' variable rather than hardcoding
  'pkg-config'
