As noted by mnemoc on IRC the default busybox config doesn't enable
fdisk and util-linux is hidden by !BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS.
On modern systems fdisk usage is becoming more common so enable it, it
just adds up ~25 KiB to total binary size.
People who are on the edge for space savings will normally customize
their busybox config.

This commit removes the version selection for the busybox
package. Busybox is very well maintained, and bugs are typically fixed
in a timely fashion. Moreover, regressions are fairly unlikely in this
very stable and well-tested tool.
Therefore, there isn't a very compelling reason to have a version
selection for Busybox since we don't accept such a version selection
for the vast majority of other packages, unless there is a strong
reason to do so.
Consequently, this commit:
* Removes the 1.19.4, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1 Busybox versions, patches and
default configuration file.
* Moves the 1.22.1 patches from package/busybox/1.22.1 to just
package/busybox/ like all other packages.
* Renames the default 1.22.1 configuration file to just
busybox.config.
* Adapts the busybox.mk makefile to encode the current version to
use.
* Adds appropriate options to Config.in.legacy. However, even though
the BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_22_X is removed, we don't add a
Config.in.legacy option for it, since it would cause a legacy
warning for virtually *all* users as most people are currently
using 1.22.x.
