[Buildroot] [git commit] systemd: don't build systemd-firstboot by default

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=447d364144cad9e02f01d8cfefe3e0bc43cbf2bc
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

systemd-firstboot is never invoked since systemd's first boot detection
logic checks whether /etc/machine-id exists. Since the file is created
automatically by systemd.mk, systemd will never detect first boot and
therefore the systemd-firstboot.service unit file will never get run.

Additionally, if /etc/machine-id is removed to allow systemd-firstboot
to run, it interactively prompts for the system locale. This makes it
seem unlikely that an embedded system would want to use it.
