Andrea Pappacoda e5a408386b build: add pkg-config support (#1767)
* build: add pkg-config support

The CMake build script now generates a simple pkg-config files that can
be easily used by non-CMake users.

The file is generated from a template file that gets filled in at
configure time.

As CMake doesn't have anything similar to Meson's pkg-config generator
the file is quite static, i.e. new simdjson public defines/dependencies
won't be picked up automatically.

This approach also suffers from one minor issue, mentioned in
[jtojnar/cmake-snips][]; in short, it doesn't work well when users
specify CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR and similar as absolute paths. It's not
a big deal, and it will easily fixable once you'll require CMake >=3.20.

Fixes #1763

* build: handle absolute paths in .pc generation

As mentioned in the previous commit message, correct concatenation of
paths is only available in CMake >=3.20, so handling absolute paths in
pkg-config file generation requires using jtojnar's JoinPaths module.

* ci: add debian job

This new jobs compiles simdjson on Debian Testing, a semi-rolling
release, so that new compilers are always tested.

This job also tests the pkg-config file introduced in commit
