[OE-core] [PATCH] libgcrypt: Revert to inheriting from binconfig

Commit 5870bd272b0b077d0826fb900b251884c1c05061 introduced
binconfig-disabled and enabled it for libgcrypt. This intentionally broke
the old-style libgcrypt-config binary since packages should be using the
pkg-config instead.

oe-core patches libgcrypt itself in order to generate a .pc file. This
patch was not accepted upstream because they do not wish to depend on
pkg-config. This means that upstream libgcrypt continues to ship with an
autoconf snippet that expects the libgcrypt-config binary so the configure
scripts shipped with other upstream projects (e.g. libmicrohttpd) also
expect to be able to find the libgcrypt-config binary.

If libgcrypt upstream doesn't generate a .pc file by default, then we
shouldn't expect other upstreams to make use of one. So, I think it makes
most sense to go back to installing a working libgcrypt-config binary until
that situation changes.
