[BusyBox] Fix default editor path in miscutils/crontab.c

The 'crontab' commands looks for /usr/bin/vi if no editor is specified
in the environment. However, 'busybox --install' puts vi in /bin -- so
crontab, without additional configuration, can't find an editor.
There are two solutions to this problem:
(1) Have crontab look for /bin/vi instead.
(2) Since the editor is run via 'sh -c ...', one could simply make the
default value 'vi' (no path), and crontab would find whatever 'vi' comes
first in the user's path.
Does anyone care? The attached patch implements (1).
