Subject: [PATCH] backport of "fix build with Python 3.8 by also checking for
 python-3.X-embed.pc"

Since Python 3.8 the normal checks don't include the Python libraries
anymore and linking of the gst-python module would fail.

See also https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5629

Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-python/issues/28
