[BusyBox] coreutils, applet migration

A while back GNU fileutils, shellutils and textutils merged into a
coreutils package, this has now been done to busybox as well.

There are a few anomalies.

kill and uptime is in both the procps and coreutils packages, in busybox
they exist in procps, but as coreutils is a more recognisable package
maybe they should be in busybox's corutils directory.

debianutils/readlink and network/hostname are a part of the coreutils
package.


These are currently in busybox coreutils dir

cal is from bsdmainutils
cmp is from diff
dos2unix is from sysutils
length ?
realpath ?
usleep ?
uuencode and uudecode are from sharutils
watch is from procps


With the exception of watch, maybe these applets should go in miscutils
?
