[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/systemd: use util-linux' agetty, drop patch

We currently have a patch that replaces the use of (hard-coded) agetty
in systemd, to use just plain getty. That patch dates back to commit
f4a5eed474c (Add the systemd package), when util-linux was not a
dependency, and we relied on busybox to actually provide getty.

But nowadays, util-linux is a mandatory dependency of systemd anyway.
agetty is about 42, while busybox' getty is around 5KiB (give or
take). That's an extra 50KiB, but it has to be balanced against the rest
of the system: systemd only runs on a glibc system, needs dbus and thus
expat, and kmod, that a ~40KiB overhead is barely noticeable (a miminal
systemd setup with nothing enabled, on ARM, is already ~20MiB)

So, drop our agetty-dropping patch, and forcibly enable agetty in
util-linux.
