[Buildroot] [PATCHv2] package/openssh: allow separate selection of client, server, keyutils

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de_schampheleire at nokia.com>

The openssh package comprises three separate entities: the SSH client, SSH
server, and some SSH key utilities. One may want the client but not the
server, the server but not the client, or maybe only the key utilities.

Add separate options for each entity and update the files installed on
target accordingly.

On an ARM Cortex-A53 configuration, size of stripped binaries are:

Client programs: 2213118 bytes (2161 KB)
usr/bin/ssh,657180
usr/bin/scp,99836
usr/bin/ssh-add,312800
usr/bin/ssh-agent,296428
usr/libexec/ssh-keysign,398908
usr/libexec/ssh-pkcs11-helper,292316
usr/bin/sftp,144992
usr/bin/ssh-copy-id,10658

Server programs: 806840 bytes (787 KB)
usr/libexec/sftp-server,112140
usr/sbin/sshd,694168
etc/init.d/S50sshd,532

Key utilities: 789648 bytes (771 KB)
usr/bin/ssh-keygen,398924
usr/bin/ssh-keyscan,390724

v2: the original implementation did not play well when
combined with other providers of ssh, like dropbear. If dropbear was
installed first, and the client utilities of openssh were not selected, then
the openssh install step would remove 'usr/bin/ssh' which was installed by
dropbear. As end result, no ssh program would be installed at all.
Similarly for scp.
Instead of letting the openssh install rules first install everything and
then remove parts of it, overwrite the install rules. As they are very
straightforward, this is not too dirty.
