[meta-oe][PATCH] lvm2: allow lvm2-scripts sort rdep to be configurable

[Peter Morrow]

By default lvm2-scripts has a runtime dependency on coreutils to
provide the "sort" binary. There are alternative providers for "sort"
such as busybox. It isn't desirabled in some cases to pull in a large
package such as coreutils when busybox can provide the sort binary. This
patch allows the dependency to be changed to something other than
coreutils.

if coreutils is pulled in via other rdeps then this will be ineffective. 
Secondly, it seems more like a global setting instead of per recipe 
setting. Maybe turn it into packageconfig

PACKAGECONFIG[busybox-sort] = ",,,busybox"
PACKAGECONFIG[coreutils-sort] = ",,,coreutils"

and then default to coreutils
