Ingo Bauersachs acfac7ae4a Make dependency paths relocatable
The generated configurations for both CMake and pkg-config included
absolute paths to dependencies (OpenSSL, MbedTLS). This is contrary
to the general CMake advise to create relocatable packages [1].

Additionally, when building both mbedtls and libevent via CMake's
FetchContent in the same project, loading the project would fail with

  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES property contains path:
    "/home/user/project/cmake-build/_deps/mbedtls-build/include"
  which is prefixed in the source directory.

The required changes include:
- Adding the outer includes only to the BUILD_INTERFACE solves the
  makes the CMake paths relocatable and thus solves the FetchContent
  problem.
- Updates to libevent_*.pc.in fixes the relocatable issues for
  pkg-config and properly declares currently missing dependencies.
- Using components for linking to OpenSSL (requiring CMake 3.4)
  and MbedTLS. The new MbedTLS target names now match the component
  names of the MbedTLS' CMake project.
- Use the Threads CMake library reference instead of a direct
  reference to support both built-in pthread and -lpthread.

v2 (azat): get back CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES
