[libvirt] [PATCHv2] build: avoid -lgcrypt with newer gnutls

Newer gnutls uses nettle, rather than gcrypt, which is a lot nicer
regarding initialization.  Yet we were unconditionally initializing
gcrypt even when gnutls wouldn't be using it, and having two crypto
libraries linked into libvirt.so is pointless.

Assume that the switch to gnutls 3.0 is a reliable witness, when
pkg-config is present; otherwise be pessimistic and use gcrypt.

* configure.ac (WITH_GNUTLS): Probe whether to add -lgcrypt, and
define a witness WITH_GNUTLS_GCRYPT.
* src/libvirt.c (virTLSMutexInit, virTLSMutexDestroy)
(virTLSMutexLock, virTLSMutexUnlock, virTLSThreadImpl)
(virGlobalInit): Honor the witness.
* libvirt.spec.in (BuildRequires): Make gcrypt usage conditional,
no longer needed in Fedora 19.

v2: use second pkg-config invocation rather than ldd to determine
whether gnutls uses gcrypt
