[OE-core] [PATCH] rpm: use libgcrypt instead of NSS for cryptography

RPM 4.15 by default will use libgcrypt instead of NSS for cryptography
functions, but as we didn't have libgcrypt in DEPENDS it kept using NSS.

As RPM is the sole user of NSS/NSPR in oe-core, moving to libgcrypt can make a
noticable difference to build time.  For example, building rpm (and packaging it
as RPMs) from scratch is five minutes faster with libgcrypt.

+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: prefer pkg-config to find libgcrypt
+
+libgcrypt from 1.8.5 provides a pkg-config file as well as the traditional
+libgcrypt-config script.  As pkg-config is more resiliant in the face of
+complicated build environments (for example cross-compilation and sysroots)
+prefer the pkg-config file, falling back to libgcrypt-config if that doesn't
+exist.
