PATCH v3 1/1 busybox: improve support for telnetd

From: Alexey Brodkin <[email protected]>

If target has connection to the network it might be pretty useful to have telnet connection to it instead of serial console or even in addition to serial console.

This changes makes the busybox package automatically install an init script, and tune the securetty file to make telnetd work when CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE is enabled in the Busybox configuration.

[Thomas:
- don't create a new Buildroot Config.in option, just test if CONFIG_FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE is enabled or not in the Busybox configuration
- move the securetty tuning in busybox.mk instead of system.mk
- use start-stop-daemon in the init script, in order to properly implement the stop and restart actions
- misc other minor improvements in the init script.]

Why don't we simply add those four in our securetty, directly in our skeleton?

That renders securetty even more useless than it already is.

Why don't we just remove CONFIG_FEATURE_SECURETTY from our default busybox
config and get rid of all the securetty hacks?

Arnout
