* [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/ugetty: support building "proxycommand" binary for host

The "proxycommand" binary is used with SSH clients to connect to
ugetty over serial. Building it as a host package makes it easy to use
with Buildroot builds including ugetty on the target, without needing
a separate install.

It is handy to use install -D so the directory is created if not yet
present, so I changed that.

I see that I also forgot to do so for the target install, so I will send
a separate patch for that.

Committed with that changed, thanks.
