14.4/errata: add issue - freebsd-update hanging when pkg is not bootstrapped
Add an erratum describing a problem where freebsd-update(8) commands such as
fetch or install may hang when pkg(8) is not bootstrapped.
The erratum also documents a workaround: bootstrap pkg(8) before running
freebsd-update(8).
