0.12.1+1.56.2-patched failed to link systemd

[fortime]

Describe the bug I am building an executable with grpc-rs (this commit) on Arch Linux. Linking is failed because of -lsystemd is not provided. Error log:

some `extern` functions couldn't be found; some native libraries may need to be installed or have their path specified
use the `-l` flag to specify native libraries to link
use the `cargo:rustc-link-lib` directive to specify the native libraries to link with Cargo (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#cargorustc-link-libkindname

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Build a executable with grpc-rs on Linux system which has libsystemd.so installed and runs pkg-config --print-provides systemd successfully.

Expected behavior Build successfully.

System information

• CPU architecture: x86_64
• Distribution and kernel version: Arch Linux, 6.4.3-arch1-2
• systemd: 253

Additional context grpc introduces systemd dependecy at this PR, it will be built with systemd if systemd is found by pkg-config. But grpc-sys doesn't tell cargo to link with -lsystemd. I can build the executable with patch in grpc-sys/build.rs:

println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=systemd");

Can you submit the patch?

Ok, I will try.
