Upstream ffmpeg patch[1] has a drawback. Linking against libavutil
results in appending -ldrm to library list in linker command tail, but
in shared linking this is no needed at all since shared linking is
transparent about library dependecies, hence -ldrm in this case is not
needed.

Add patch to avoid this behaviour by:
- Introducing new variable "privatelibs" that is assigned to
  "Libs.private:" when creating various .pc files.
- Move $LIBDRM from extralibs_avutil to privatelibs_avutil

This patch applied to 3.4.x version and wasn't vital since it didn't 
create build failure.
FFmpeg will upstream patches only for security bugs, so this patch 
doesn't make sense.
I set it rejected on Patchwork.

Best regards

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: add LIBDRM to Libs.private instead of Libs
+
+Currently LIBDRM is appended to Libs: in libavutil.pc. This causes
+every program linking with avutil to link with -ldrm in both shared and
+static linking cases. In shared linking case it makes no sense, since
+-ldrm is a dependency of libavutil and is transparent while linking with
+libavutil
+
+- Add privatelibs_avutil variable for explicit private libraries to be
+  appended to Libs.private:
+- Add $LIBDRM to privatelibs_avutil.
