[Buildroot] [PATCH v5 0/2] e2fsprogs: fix issues when BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR=y

Since e2fsprogs depends on util-linux, it's build after it. It means
that if you want the fsck wrapper from util-linux (which is better
maintained and you are sure that it's compatible with systemd) and you
want e2fsck, it won't work. Because of the merge of /usr/bin and /bin,
we end up deleting the fsck from util-linux.

The root cause of this problem is the cluncky attempt to coexist with
busybox and util-linux. In order to solve the problem we need to make
two changes:

- Refactor e2fsprogs, making it override any utility coming from busybox
  and favoring the fsck wrapper from util-linux.
- Make systemd select util-linux/fsck to prevent ending up with the fsck
  from busybox, which is not compatible with systemd.

  systemd: select util-linux/fsck and e2fsprogs/e2fsck
