[Buildroot] [git commit branch/2017.02.x] system: do not overwrite /bin/sh Busybox symlink

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1244b189543a11f1d712caf12efb7ee8703eba97
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2017.02.x

The BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH hidden option defines to what binary the /bin/sh
symlinks should point to. If busybox is chosen, then /bin/sh is created
to point to /bin/busybox.

This works fine with the default installation mode of Busybox, but it
fails with the upcoming "individual binaries" mode, in which each applet
is installed as its own binary, and /bin/busybox doesn't exist: we get
/bin/sh as a broken symlink to /bin/busybox.

Since Busybox already installs its own /bin/sh symlink, properly
pointing to /bin/ash or /bin/hush depending on the selected shell, it
doesn't make sense for the BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH logic to override
this. Just let Busybox install its own /bin/sh by making
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH empty when Busybox shell is selected as /bin/sh.
