su - without password in 1.3.0

[Marc Leeman]

> Why do you need it? It works ok without config entry like this...

Because busybox needs to gain root someway, and in the past, it was
certainly done like this.

It works, well kind of. The problem is that it should at least ask for a
root password and not drop any user into a rootshell without a request
for a password.

I'll see if I have time to have a look at it next week, but as it is, we
cannot use busybox > 1.2.2 due to this bug :-(

There might be a mistake, but then it became a mistake from 1.3.0
onwards since it has performed as expected for over a year.
