    busybox: use new update-alternatives

    (From OE-Core rev: fbbc96aed5086f853a1179f1478ccd252af24094)

    Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>

The file /etc/syslog-startup.conf is incorrect:

# ls -l /etc/syslog*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  14 Jun  6 21:03 /etc/syslog-startup.conf -> ../bin/busybox
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 506 Jun  6 16:28 /etc/syslog-startup.conf.busybox

This should really be:

# ls -l /etc/syslog*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  14 Jun  6 21:03 /etc/syslog-startup.conf -> syslog-startup.conf.busybox
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 506 Jun  6 16:28 /etc/syslog-startup.conf.busybox
