Remove the first -L${PREFIX}/lib from link-lines

This remains a problem today with 1.22.5 -- the issue should've been reported
upstream, when first encountered. Chances are, it would've been fixed by now.

That UPDATING-entry was an admission of defeat: "We know of the problem, we
cannot fix it" :-(

The root cause is that the linker line lists the library directories thus:

-L${WRKSRC}/_build/gst
-L${LOCALBASE}/lib
-L${WRKSRC}/_build/libs/gst/base
-L${WRKSRC}/_build/gst
-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -L${LOCALBASE}/lib


The ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libgstbase-1.0.so.0.1602.0, which I currently have
installed, does NOT have this function defined, but it is picked up first,
because ${LOCALBASE}/lib is listed before the ${WRKSRC}/_build/libs/gst/base.
Notably, this is not a problem for the compile-stage -- the -I arguments list
${LOCALBASE}/include last. But -L ones are wrong...

The proposed patch offers one way to solve this -- a hackish way, because I
don't know, how meson/ninja are supposed to work. There should be a better way
-- and the port's maintainer should have the upstream figure it out.

The patch also fixes the spaces in a few spots -- replacing them with tabs.
Feel free to ignore those hunks, concentrating on just the new post-configure
target.
