build: Don't replace prefix in .pc file if relocation is disabled

Replacing the prefix with a path relative to ${pcfiledir} can be harmful
if the number of path components between the prefix and the ${libdir}
is not what we expect, in particular on Debian-derived systems where the
${libdir} is normally lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar.
