brotli: pkg-config --static not working

The static libraries have the name -static appended to them but pkg-config --static returns the regular name. I don’t think there is a way to treat the library name as different for static in pkg-config.

libbrotlicommon-static.a libbrotlidec-static.a libbrotlienc-static.a

git clone https://github.com/google/brotli.git
