Add the ability to use chkconfig's update-alternatives

From: Christopher Larson <[email protected]>

This short patch series fixes a few issues with the chkconfig recipe to prepare for packaging of its C implementation of update-alternatives, enables this packaging, adds a recipe with minimal deps for the -native case, and fixes a couple issues in opkg-native and update-alternatives.bbclass.

With this applied, you can use this implementation of update-alternatives rather than cworth's by defining:

VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_update-alternatives = "chkconfig-alternatives" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/update-alternatives = "chkconfig-alternatives" PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/update-alternatives-native = "chkconfig-alternatives-native"

I've sanity checked both package and image buildhistory, and the only changes are due to the particular layout of the alternatives directories, which is reasonable. I've also confirmed that image do_rootfs run times have dropped by 7 seconds on average, so it at least doesn't regress that. Of course, the main benefit to being able to use this implementation is the removal of the sh dependency, and that the maintainer of its code is someone other than us and the opkg maintainer.

Comments welcome. Thanks.
