Make busybox an optional applet

If it's disabled, code shrinks by about 900 bytes:

function                                             old     new   delta
usr_bin                                               10       -     -10
usr_sbin                                              11       -     -11
install_dir                                           20       -     -20
applet_install_loc                                   184       -    -184
run_applet_and_exit                                  686      21    -665

 909848     493    7336  917677   e00ad busybox_unstripped

but busybox executable by itself does not say anything useful:

$ busybox
busybox: applet not found
