[meta-oe,v3] dnf-plugin-tui: create symlinks from /usr/ to /.

From: Wang Mingyu <wangmy@fujitsu.com>

From Poky 4.3, by default, usrmerge has been enabled.
Some important binaries have been installed to /usr/sbin instead of
/sbin such as init. So it is necessary to create symlinks from /usr/
to /, such as /usr/sbin to /sbin, /usr/bin to /bin.

Isn’t this what create_merged_usr_symlinks in image.bbclass does?  Why does a DNF plugin need to do this, and not anything else?

Because dnf-plugin-tui is used to created rootfs in any nativesdk environment.
It is not in a bitbake environment, so image.bbclass cannot be used.

Sounds a bit like the symlink creation should be moved into base-files...

Yes, we also think that it should be moved into base-files.
