[Buildroot] [PATCH] inetutils: new package

Hello Jeremy,

indeed there are many programs in inetutils, that are also provided by
other packages.
I decided to split the package into 6 separate parts, so "one does not
simply" need to compile/carry everything :)
Inetutils is the GNU implementation of these, the user can choose whatever
fits best for him/her.

My primary reason for adding Inetutils is telnet (and telnetd), which are
not provided by anything else, if
the user chooses not to use Busybox.

Best regards,
Karoly
