Description
Per chat with @kkaefer the `MASON_SYSROOT` variable [here](https://github.com/mapbox/mason/blob/bcbb1d98ff3f30cafd5b5591ecce882426b49d9c/mason.sh#L577-L585) was added to allow a run-time override of incorrect pkg-config paths. But we think this functionality is both no longer needed or used, so this ticket is to track removing this variable in mason v2.
