[Bug 263879] pkgbase removes critical etc files upon upgrade

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263879

That check in pkg_jobs_update_universe_item_priority() is definitely not an
optimization.  Without it, pkg will not split jobs at all, and there are cases
where it is necessary.

So, what can we do?  Basically, the problem is that upgrades of certain
packages must not be split, otherwise critical config files are lost.  So we'd
need some package flag which says, "don't split an upgrade of this package,
pick a different one" and hope that at least one of the conflicting packages
does not have this flag set.

Alternately, can we change pkg/pkgbase to not manage or remove certain critical
/etc files?
