This doesn't make busybox an applet, it just makes it possible to turn
off help and list of applets.

I'm not really interested in that:  I wanted busybox to be an actual
applet to avoid having to treat it as a special case in standalone
shell mode.

If busybox is a real applet there's no need for FEATURE_SHARED_BUSYBOX
because FEATURE_INDIVIDUAL will make a busybox binary along with those
for all the other applets.
