[Buildroot] [PATCH v1] package/util-linux: disable runuser for the host build

I would contend that this problem is a badly configured host, and if
such hosts have libraries installed that incompatible with their native
compiler, then those host should be fixed.

However, runuser really is a non-necessary tool for the Buildroot case,
so disabling it is still a good idea.

Applied to master, with a commit log expanded to provide a more
fundamental reason why we disable runuser. Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
