Patch to have configure include '-L' linking parameters for libedit.

Note: this bug is for version 6.4p1, which is not listed in the version choices in Bugzilla.

When building OpenSSH with a libedit which is not located in a standard location, 'configure --with-libedit' fails to pick it up.

The reason is that it uses 'pkg-config --libs-only-l libedit', instead of 'pkg-config --libs libedit', which causes the '-L/path/to/libedit' to be omitted.

A patch is attached.
