[OE-core] [PATCH] busybox: fix upgrade problem with deb packages

Busybox prerm scripts create temp directory and fill with
symlinks to common utilities in order to upgrade itself, PATH
is exported but dpkg didn't take a look of this links and fails.

In order to fix,

	Changed temp directory to /usr/loca/bin in debian packages.
	Added missing links for utilities tar, find, tail, cut.

Busybox syslog prerm script tries to stop the daemon but if already
stopped returns 1 then causes that dpkg fails because it expects 0.

In order to fix,

	Added workaround to exit 0 in debian packages.

[YOCTO #6768]
