[Buildroot] [PATCH] nc: new virtual package providing "netcat" functionality

Sun Sep 17 07:15:46 UTC 2017
Add the "nc" virtual package and modify netcat, netcat-openbsd and nmap
to become providers.
Make the nmap recipe install "ncat" (with a symbolic link to nc) if the
BR2_PACKAGE_NMAP_NCAT option is set. Other programs (ncat, ndiff, etc.)
are still chosen via BR2_PACKAGE_NMAP, in the "Networking applications"
menu.
So far the "nc" options available to build with uClibc were the ancient
GNU netcat and its Busybox double. Both lack features available in more
modern netcats like IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.
