Revert to busybox nc for metricsproxy

nmap-ncat is causing issues in metricsproxy with globalnet: Ncat: Version 7.92 ( https://nmap.org/ncat ) Ncat: Listening on :::8081 Ncat: Listening on 0.0.0.0:8081 Ncat: Connection from 10.129.0.19. Ncat: Connection from 10.129.0.19:45064. Ncat: assertion failed: count <= INT_MAX QUITTING. It's not clear how to fix that, so this installs busybox and reverts to busybox nc instead. To avoid having too many changes in nettest, nmap-ncat is preserved for other uses. Signed-off-by: Stephen Kitt <[email protected]>
