[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] nmap: add option to build/install "ncat"

[Carlos Santos]

Ncat is a much-improved reimplementation of the venerable Netcat and is
compatible with uClibc.

So far the "nc" options available to build with uClibc were the ancient
GNU netcat and its Busybox double (the openbsd-netcat package cannot be
used because it requires GLIBC). Both lack features available in modern
netcats like IPv6, proxies, and Unix sockets.

Changes v1->v2:
  - Add dependens on BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS, like netcat does
  - Remove forced dependence on busybox, since its installation script
    does not override existing programs.
