[Buildroot] [git commit branch/2018.11.x] package/openssh: Set /var/empty permissions

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ebdf6ec46d85d8e4426951114d60f08c1f69e31e
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2018.11.x

The openssh privilege separation feature, enabled by default,
requires that the path /var/empty exists and has certain permissions
(not writable by the sshd user). Note that nothing ever gets writting
in this directory, so it works fine on a readonly rootfs.

See README.privsep included as part of the openssh distribution.
