This patch improves util-linux ptest package.
We don't manually disable any tests, so more tests are performed.
Also, we don't leak build host info into the package anymore, so the package
is now binary reproducible.

Results before (core-image-sato-sdk-ptest):

PASS:102
FAIL:21

Results after:

PASS: 340
FAIL: 11

The remaining failing tests can be addressed individually.
For example, "kill" fails 4 tests, but it is because we
don't test "kill" from util-linux but from util-procps.
If we select different "kill" alternative:

# update-alternatives --install /bin/kill kill /bin/kill/kill.util-linux 300

We will pass all "kill" tests as well, so we end up with only 7 failing tests.
There are about 59 tests that are skipped because some components are not installed
in core-image-sato-sdk-ptest.
(i.e. dmsetup, mdadm, scsi_debug_module, mkfs.cramfs, sntp, uuidgen, socat...)
