[Buildroot] [PATCH 11/40] package/hans: preserve /usr/sbin symlink

With BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_BIN=y, /usr/sbin is a symlink to bin.
Using install -D for files below $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/sbin can create
the parent directory path and replace that symlink with a real
directory.

With per-package directories, this can later make rsync fail when a
package target directory contains a non-empty usr/sbin directory and
the skeleton provides usr/sbin -> bin.

The skeleton dependency has already created /usr/sbin, either as a
directory or as the merged-bin symlink, so use plain install and let it
follow the existing path.
