PATCH 1/1 package/netsurf: use HOST_CFLAGS/HOST_LDFLAGS

In commit 9b0ac875385e3bcb052fc2f376f45fa61e102673 ("package/netsurf:
make sure host libpng can be found"), the netsurf package was modified to pass -L$(HOST_DIR)/lib so that libpng is found at link time.

However, this is not sufficient: for the host tool to work at runtime, we need to have the proper RPATH encoded in the host binary. Otherwise, building netsurf fails with:

build/Linux-framebuffer/tools/convert_image: error while loading shared libraries: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [build/Linux-framebuffer/image-caret_image.c] Error 127

So basically, we need to build not only with -L$(HOST_DIR)/lib, but with the complete HOST_LDFLAGS provided by Buildroot.

For consistency, we also use HOST_CFLAGS instead of hardcoding -I$(HOST_DIR)/include.

It is worth mentioning that we must use single quotes here, because the NETSURF_CONFIG variable value then gets put within double quotes to be passed to the netsurf build system.

Fixes:
