Every applet should be functional even if selected individually
(i.e. if binary would implement just that one function).

This was not previously tested, and a number of applets
either did not build with such "single-applet" .config,
or were forcing selection of other applets.

NOLOGIN was the only applet which was still broken in that regard.
Now it's fixed.

Granted, having a binary which implements entire shell just in order
to execute a trivial internal shell script is silly. But it should work
(should not be left in broken state).
