[OE-core] [PATCHv3 0/1] Do not use command in profile

Since we apparently cannot rely on the command utility to always
exist, it is better to avoid using it in the profile script. Rather
than using command to detect if tty and resize exist (which obviously
will not work if command itself does not exist), just call them
directly while piping any output for stderr to /dev/null. This should
actually be a little bit more efficient in the case that they do
exist, and the same in the case that they do not exist.

I leave to you to decide whether you want to revert commit e41c90b852
that enabled the command utility in busybox or not.

PATCHv2: Correct a typo in the commit message

PATCHv3: Run resize twice, once to determine if it exists, and once to
actually do the resize.
