[Buildroot] [RFC] Don't hide all editors in menuconfig

[Julien Boibessot]

Hi,

I probably misunderstood the use of BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS but
I'm in a case where I have to hide packages provided by Busybox and use
Nano as editor.

So here is a patch I have to apply to show Nano again in Buildroot's
menuconfig.
Am I right ?

Regards,
Julien

The SHOW_OTHERS toggle (and the HIDE_OTHERS we had earlier), was to make
it easier for users by hiding packages that have "equivalent" busybox
applets - Normally the busybox applets are smaller and more often used
(and hence better tested) in buildroot.

But I agree, that calling the busybox vi implementation equivalent to
all the editors we have is probably a bit of a stretch ..

So, committed - Thanks!
