[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/gawk: create awk symlink for host-gawk

From: Hubert Lacote <hubert.lacote at youview.com>

This is to make sure that host packages that depend on `host-gawk` and that use
`awk` end up using `gawk`, instead of the `awk` symlink installed on the host
system.

On recent Debian-based distributions, `awk` is still symlinked to `mawk` [1].
