[Bug 275493] freebsd-update doesn't increment patchlevel

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275493

            Bug ID: 275493
           Summary: freebsd-update doesn't increment patchlevel
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: void@f-m.fm

When errata/patches are released, freebsd-update does not update the system to
reflect its new patchlevel.

For example,
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2023-December/000104.html
states 

Corrected:      2023-11-28 21:00:48 UTC (stable/14, 14.0-STABLE)
                2023-12-01 00:38:38 UTC (releng/14.0, 14.0-RELEASE-p1)
                2023-11-28 21:07:30 UTC (stable/13, 13.2-STABLE)
                2023-12-01 00:38:47 UTC (releng/13.2, 13.2-RELEASE-p6)
                2023-11-30 05:28:33 UTC (stable/12, 12.4-STABLE)
                2023-12-01 00:40:23 UTC (releng/12.4, 12.4-RELEASE-p8)

But if one takes a 13.2-RELEASE-p4 system and runs freebsd-update fetch then
install, then reboots, uname -aKU still shows the system as 13.2-RELEASE-p4.

Similarly, please see
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2023-December/001748.html 5th
parag in a 12.4-p6 context.

This is very confusing. It needs to be accurate, given the information that can
be derived from accurate versioning.
