Mention flavors with respect to %n and %o

(The attached patch is to be placed as is in the ports-mgmt/pkg/files
directory.)

"pkg help query" presently has no mention of package flavors and how to
determine them   Anyone using the example from near the end of the "pkg help
query" page, "pkg query -e '%#r = 0' %o", to get a complete list of top level
packages to install on a system (let's say, when building a new system to
replace an existing one) will be unpleasantly surprised to discover that "%o"
has no mention of the package flavor.  This patch explains the difference
between %o and %n and suggests using %n to get a list of packages that includes
flavors.
