util-linux: take ownership of hwclock if installed

Previously util-linux had a lower priority for hwclock than busybox but the
reasoning was lost in the mists of time, with just this enigmatic comment
remaining:

    There seems to be problem, atleast on nslu2, with these, until they are
    fixed the busybox ones have higher priority.

Chasing the comment back through history it first appeared in the following
oe-classic commit:

        Updated to use update-alternatives and fix some FHS bugs

Which doesn't really give a lot away.

Let's assume that in the past eleven years both hwclock and hardware have
improved, and restore util-linux's hwclock to it's intended priority.
