[Bug 291200] ports-mgmt/pkg periodic script weekly/400.status-pkg uses a wrong pkg -R option

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291200

--- Comment #9 from Vladimir Druzenko <vvd@FreeBSD.org> ---
pkg-version(8):
     The database of available packages and versions to compare against the
     installed packages may be chosen by specifying one of -P, -R or -I or by
     setting VERSION_SOURCE in pkg.conf(5).  If not specified then the ports
     index file will be used if it exists (-I).  Otherwise, should a ports
     tree exist that will be used to compare versions (-P).  Failing either of
     those two choices, the repository catalogue will be used (-R).

pkg.conf(5):
     VERSION_SOURCE: string
                  Default database for comparing version numbers in
                  pkg-version(8).  Valid values are I for index, P for ports,
                  R for remote.  Default: If unset, the algorithm described in
                  pkg-version(8) is used to determine the version source
                  automatically.

We can use "setting VERSION_SOURCE in pkg.conf(5)" instead.
1) Change default behavior in pkg-version (update man page too) to use by
default "-R".
2) Or add in pkg.conf.sample option VERSION_SOURCE=R.
