Description

Currently, you have to use strangely-named pkg-config files instead of modules like with Boost, Qt, etc. This is a cause of frequent confusion on IRC and on issues such as https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2245.

Research direction
Examine the current SDL dependency implementation in Meson (likely in mesonbuild/dependencies/sdl.py). Review how other dependency modules like Boost or Qt are structured to understand the pattern. Check referenced issue #2245 for additional context. Then implement modules for SDL libraries (image, mixer, net, etc.) following the existing pattern.
