busybox: enable noclobber option in install.sh
We support a busybox-menuconfig target so that the BusyBox configuration can be adjusted as needed. However, depending on what other packages are enabled, re-installing BusyBox symlinks that duplicate "real" apps after the configuration change can result in bad behaviors: * At best, the BusyBox applet will be used after the install, versus the desired "real" app. * At worst, the built rootfs can become unbootable. The BusyBox install.sh has some capability to avoid this issue by means of a --noclobber option. By default, this option is disabled. When enabled, the install.sh will not overwrite a target file with a symlink or hardlink, be it an actual file or a previously installed BusyBox link. The install.sh's argument processing is somewhat broken, so this patch simply changes the default value of the noclobber option to on, rather than add --noclobber to the install.sh invocation.
