package/ustr: don't run ldconfig

The ustr Makefile.in (as introduced by the Debian patch we apply), is
probably not parallel-safe:

  402 install: install-opt install-dbg
  403
  404 install-opt: install-dirs install-opt-lib install-common
  405
  406 install-dbg: install-dirs install-dbg-lib install-common
  407
  408 install-opt-lib install-dbg-lib install-common: install-dirs

  440         install -m 755 -t $(DESTDIR)$(libdir) $(DBG_LIB_SHARED)
  441         -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(DBG_LIB_SHARED_NAME)

  443         -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(DBG_LIB_SHAREDEV)
  444         ln -s $(DBG_LIB_SHARED_NAME) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(DBG_LIB_SHAREDEV)
  445         -rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(DBG_LIB_SHAREDEV_BSO)
  446         ln -s $(DBG_LIB_SHARED_NAME) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(DBG_LIB_SHAREDEV_BSO)
  447         $(LDCONFIG) -n $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)
  448         install -pm 644 -t $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/pkgconfig ustr-debug.pc

As Thomas already noticed [0], the two interesting rules above are not
dependent one on the other, so can be run in parallel. So, while one is
doing its rm'n'ln dance, the other can be running an ldconfig, which has
the side effect of creating the missing symlinks. So, we can see this
sequence:

    install-opt-lib:                        install-dbg-lib:
                                                ldconfig
        rm -f .../$(OPT_LIB_SHAREDEV)            \
                                                  `-> symlink(..., .../$(OPT_LIB_SHAREDEV))
        ln -s .../$(OPT_LIB_SHAREDEV)

In this case, ldconfig uses the opportunity-window between the rm and
the ln to create the link; so the ln does not work, as the target
already exist.

We fix that by not running ldconfig at all in Buildroot, we just pass
LDCONFIG=/bin/true .

Fixes (hopefully, since I was not even able to reproduce the failure):
