pkg-config isn't finding libmarkdown on Linux about cdiscount HOT 5 OPEN

A suggestion from the inimitable @aciidb0mb3r: because Package.swift is Swift source code in its own right, you can use #if os(OSX) to enable "pkgConfig" only for macOS. This seems like the best of both worlds.

@twostraws Sounds like a possible solution to me. What I'm afraid of is that there will be no way to show a message to run apt-get install libmarkdown2-dev if the package is not installed. My personal feeling is that it's better to always show a warning instead of silencing when an error occurs.

@ypopovych What do you think?

The warning occurs every single time you build, even when no changes have been made; it's quite irritating! Worse, for some reason swift build prints the warning three times, so it's triply irritating :)

Seems as the library is missing .pc file (doesn't updated yet to latest versions).

Maybe, we should disable this feature to time, when this will be fixed in Ubuntu repositories?

@twostraws @ypopovych Guys, what's the behavior on Linux if we keep .Apt provider, but remove pkgConfig? On success? On failure?
