Heads up: Poudriere changed default options dir

List,
before 3.2.0 Poudriere defined PORT_DBDIR with only
<jailname>-<setname>-options, which was apparently a bug. Now (in 3.2.0)
it honors -p option in the options command and includes ports tree name
(given to -p) in PORT_DBDIR.
In other words, if -p is given, it will be included in PORT_DBDIR. If
it's not, then nothing's changed.
The result of that is that it will mkdir
<jailname>-<treename>-<setname>-options, which has higher priority than
<jailname>-<setname>-options, so if you have the options dir created
from before, named only <jailname>-options (or
<jailname>-<setname>-options), it will now be overriden by the new
(correct) scheme.
This is important in my case, because when I first ran poudriere options
many lunar orbits ago, it created <jailname>-options, and
<jailname>-<setname>-options, and it remained like that as I don't have
more than one tree (but do have several jails and sets). So now it
"broke" my set up (which I suppose should be said it fixed a bug and my
setup was broken from before).
The fix was simply to rename the old <jailname>-options dir I had to
<jailname>-default-options (as "default" is my ports tree name), and
likewise for each set I use.
Sorry if this was mentioned before, though I found no public
announcement of this change. Thought it was important enough to mention
it, so here.
