Execute Entware-Setup to Enable /opt Mount on USB Drive

The newly flashed firmware (v384.6) has entware-setup.sh included already. FYI: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/release/src/router/others/entware-setup.sh

/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start is the line added; not sure if it’s necessary. :)
