Description

As you know, current build system not only compiles `libturnclient.a` static library, but also installs it system-wide. However, I was rather surprising to find no third-party project known to Google that uses it. It seems to me to be a pretty internal library.

* Is it worth installing the library at all?
* If it is, shouldn't it be a dynamic library instead?
* If we still install a library system-wide, shouldn't we also provide a pkg-config file for it?

Research direction

Review the build-system rules that compile and install libturnclient.a, then investigate whether the repository or its known consumers treat it as a public library. Determine the maintainers' decision on installing it, choosing static versus dynamic output, and providing a pkg-config file; completion requires an agreed packaging direction rather than a narrowly defined edit.
