[OE-core] [PATCH] gdk-pixbuf: Fix libpng determinism issues

Is "libpng" the new canonical name for 1.6?  I assume there was a reason
it was listed last.  It looks like the current logic came from:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdk-pixbuf/commit/?id=ddedf5a2c2c63bfe8d6f04376cf2bba215a5eb19

Which is a not very enlightening commit message.  It looks like the
Fedora 18 "libpng" package provides both libpng.pc and libpng15.pc.
RHEL6 has the same except it's libpng12.pc too.  My Ubuntu 12.10 VM has
libpng12 with just libpng12.pc, no libpng.pc.

My main concern with this patch was ensuring that people aren't getting
a suddenly ancient and deprecated libpng, but that seems unlikely, so
unless there are other comments I can take care of turning this into
"git format-patch" style and pushing upstream.
