Trying to install busybox with hardlinks and a custom PREFIX will fail
for applets not in the /bin directory, because relative pathnames are
used. applets/install.sh is *supposed to* use the absolute pathname
for hardlinks but it fails to do so because the wrong check is used
in the if statement.
While fixing it, shore up other sloppy coding in applets/install.sh

Currently, it is impossible to pass more than one option to the isntall
script, so it totally prevents using --noclobber.

Simplify the handling of --noclobber so that it applies to all types of
installation types, even to script wrappers.

Conditional rewrite can keep NUM_APPLETS.h mtime old,
this causes make to try to regenerate it at every invocation.

On user request.
I thought enabling/disabling them all together is more consistent.
Evidently, some people do want them to be separately selectable.

The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.
v6:

Adding support to install individual binaries if the option is

Add a helper script that lists all applets that
- do or may require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.suid)
- do not require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.nosuid)
Some setups prefer to build two busybox binaries, one that is suid which
contains all applets that do or may require suid privileges, and a
second one for all the rest (which drops suid). To ease splitting these
two binaries, generate a list of CONFIG_ items for the suid binary.

This change retains "or later" state! No licensing _changes_ here,
only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).

First, I _again_ violated it - two xz-related applets are in wrong positions.
Second, planned in-applet help text thing will be so much easier without
this requirement...
