-v 14.3-RELEASE does not work for -mpkgbase= usage.

The -v VERSION_HERE is substituted into the text for:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:VERSION_HERE:aarch64/

(aarch64 example) The only paths that work have one of:

14
15

(for now).

For reference:

Technically  the information is encoded in the 3 of: base_release_3
so "14.3" could be built.


This is messy also because -m??? for it not being -mpkgbase do use
the notation:

-v 14.3-RELEASE

-aARCH for -mpkgbase= also does not match what is used for
other -m??? alternatives. In this case, for -mpkgbase=
the -aARCH has ARCH directly substituted into

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:VERSION_HERE:ARCH/

and the normal TARGET.TARGET_ARCH does not work --but
does for other -m??? alternatives. Nor does
-aarm64 work instead of -aarch64 (for example).
