That's not an option: non-usable default rootfs if there's no /bin/sh.

It's possible, probably best in System Configuration an option that
selects the appropiate package.
I wouldn't pull in busybox though, only make the option available if
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX.
And make the symlink in target-finalize to avoid touching the packages
much (actually making them simpler).

It's a pretty arbitrary decision, many people would balk at the idea of
having bash as default yet they may need it for other uses.
