Description

jansson is a hard requirement for avro, so would be very useful to have it included in the pkg-config Requires section.

And on the same area, CMakeLists.txt is doing this:

set(JANSSON_PKG libjansson)

All of the other LIB_PKG variables are valid pkg-config packages, and they all end up in the `Requires` section – But it turns out the pkg-config name for libjansson is `jansson`, without the lib prefix: https://github.com/akheron/jansson/blob/master/jansson.pc.in

Note that https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2987 needs to be fixed first, since without that the entire Requires section isn't really usable.
