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

[Carlos Santos <casantos@datacom.ind.br>]

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:
  - Prevent build error
    Makefile:537: *** nmap is in the dependency chain of nc that has \
    added it to its _DEPENDENCIES variable without selecting it or \
    depending on it from Config.in.  Stop.
