pkg-config fails to find correct parameters in meson builds

[sjozs]

libdocument/meson.build has the following declaration (same in libview):

libdocument = library(
    'document',
    libdocument_private_headers + libdocument_sources,
    dependencies: libdocument_deps,
    include_directories: include_root,
    soversion: binary_major_version,
    version: binary_version,
    install: true,
)

This leads to soname libdocument.so, which means that atril 1.28.2 does not link with anything if using pkg-config, which contains the -latrildocument flag. To fix this, one would need to either set 'atrildocument'/atrilview as the name or configure the soname too in the .pc.in files (alternatively, set name_prefix to libatril as the default is lib, from what I could find on https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#library_name_prefix).

Also, configure set api_version to 1.5.0 while meson sets it to 1.5, which leads to pkg-config not finding the previously working atril-view-1.5.0.pc since the file is now called atril-view-.1.5.pc.

Tested it today, name_prefix did not work with GIR builds, only renaming the library.
