[oe] [PATCH] task-boot: use DISTRO_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES instead of update-alternatives directly

* make opkg RCONFLICTS with update-alternatives-cworth because both
  do the same but installs alternatives to different directory
  (/usr/lib/ipkg/alternatives and /usr/lib/opkg/alternatives)
* Images built after 2009-12-08 9b641bbfed07c075ae5cbe84082a85f1ba703447
  probably use opkg-native, but also ship with u-a-cworth
* Upgrade path is quite difficult, because users should remove cworth
  (RCONFLICT in opkg) and merge alternatives to opkg/alternatives
