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.
