[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] dcron: new package

[Alvaro G. M]

This version of the patch solves the whole lot of problems noted before.
This patch, as is, would enable a system level cron daemon with hourly,
daily, weekly and monthly crontabs.

However, it doesn't allow non root users to create their own crontab file.
This is because /var/spool/cron/crontabs is non user writable.

Typically, a crontab group is created on the system and users allowed to
create crontab entries are added into this group, while crontab executable
is owned by root:crontab with sgid bit enabled.
