tools/coreutils: replace symlinks to build prerequisites

Before building, symlinks are made from existing utilities
on the host machine, because they are necessary before
coreutils can be built.

Instead of leaving these utilities as symlinks,
replace them with the copy provided by the coreutils build
in order to increase version control for these utilities
and to have a real copy for targets like the SDK.

The utilities required before building and provided by coreutils are
cp, install, realpath, seq, and stat.

Let all of the utilities be installed with the "g" prefix,
then, existing symlinks named without the "g" prefix are safely replaced
with a new symlink using the coreutils version of `ln` just built
in order to prevent an inconsistent state of the file
since these utilities must always be available.

While at it, sort the list alphabetically.
