I'm polishing the last parts for "simplifying" @option always-update.

Here's what you need to know:
- current pkg_create now records a sha256 hash of the plist at the end
of @option always-update.  This can only be parsed by current tools, obviously.

- register-plist has been updated to forget this hash. If you don't you'll
get errors out of it obviously

- I'm in the process of updating quirks to take advantage of this:
@option always-update becomes "business as usual". For now, the intermediate
version will error out with an helpful message about rebuilding always-update
package(s) with current pkg tools.


For now (at least for a few releases), the base tools will cope with 
"old" packing-lists not having a hash after always-update (the added 
complexity is minimal compared to all the rest), but when the new snapshots
are out, pkg_add should be able to cache everything
