configure: Work around broken static pkg-config info for Ubuntu gnutls
Unfortunately Ubuntu's pkg-config information for gnutls is broken for the static linking case, and outputs --libs options which the compiler does not recognize. Work around this problem by testing that the --cflags/--libs output will at least allow compilation before enabling gnutls support.
