By default, the iputils build script might build binaries which are
useless for certain applications, like tftpd or ninfod. Those binaries
will add to the target filesystem size unless a post-build script removes
them manually, which is cumbersome and doesn't shorten build times.
In particular, in a certain aarch64 Buildroot project with musl selected
as a C library, this patch allowed to shrink the full iputils package from
219 KiB (if every option is selected) to 63 KiB (with only the ping
binary selected) - a 71.2% relative size decrease.
Moreover, upstream recently introduced a commit that disabled tftpd from
building by default, like rarpd. In the current state of things, this change
will introduce inconveniences for Buildroot users which prefer to use the
tftpd implementation provided by this package. With this patch, however, that
decision and similar future ones won't be a concern, because they will
have complete control of what binaries are built.
These changes add Kconfig options which let the user select what
binaries are built with ease.

iputils does not have to be built with openssl so remove selecting
BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL and make the dependency optional

The new upstream is a fork of the original that consolidates other distro's
patches. This fork resolves a series of musl build failures noted in the
autobuilder log.
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/12cb73f3def95efe706bcd957bc2c091e7931d5a/
- Updated to github fork, selected merge from Nov 3 2015
which provided musl fixes (last release was to old, 20150815)
- Why the fork ? (http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg279881.html)
- Added missing dependencies for kernel capabilies lib
- Accounted for new consolidated ping (ipv4/6)
Tested against a buildroot arm musl/glibc toolchains, as well as
autobuilder defconfig.

Disable when using a uclibc version before 0.9.33 since dn_comp
function support was added in this version. Also disabling on AVR32
since any AVR32 toolchain will be based on a uclibc version older
than 0.9.33 (for using an external AVR32 toolchain).
[Peter: use dn_comp instead of __dn_comp]
