Previously, root with password set cannot login in rescue mode for

Add util-linux-sulogin in IMAGE_INSTALL_append properly to fix this problem.
What's the rationale for installing bits of coreutils, verses enabling
FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWORDS in busybox?
Ross
If FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWORDS is enabled in busybox, busybox assumes that
there's /etc/shadow in the system, but it's possible that there isn't.
In such case, the related utilities from busybox cannot work correctly.
That's why I chose to installed util-linux-sulogin conditionally in
extrausers.bbclass instead of enabling FEATRUE_SHADOWPASSWORDS in the
defconfig of busybox.
