Libguestfs - Apr 2014 - [PATCH] appliance: exclude pkg-config, doc-base, and reportbug stuff

Exclude the arch-independent pkg-config files (no pkg-config available
in the appliance).

Exclude also the doc-base and reportbug files, typically found in Debian
systems.

ACK.

FWIW we used to go further and remove all perl* and python* packages.

Since supermin 5 / libguestfs 1.26 I stopped doing that, and the size
of the fixed appliance has grown by about half:

Not sure if we should fix that however.  It's possible that those
packages do something useful ...
